DISC Squier By Fender Simon Neil Stratocaster - Biffy Clyro Signature

Full Description

Formed by guitarist and vocalist Simon Neil and twins James and Ben Johnston in the mid-90's, Scottish alternative rock band Biffy Clyro have been entering into the hearts of rock fans all over the globe.

The band's sound is characterised by a heavy, yet melodic, mixture of guitar, bass and drums, with all three band members contributing to vocals and a true guitar hero in the making with Simon Neil.

The Simon Neil Stratocaster guitar puts Simon's own personal touch on a Squier Classic Vibe series instrument. Based on his Fender Custom Shop Time Machine '60s Stratocaster guitar, features include an alder body finished in Fiesta Red, vintage-tint gloss maple neck, Simon's signature on the back of the headstock as well as the Biffy Clyro band logo on the front.

A 3-ply mint green pickguard adds to the look, with three custom vintage-style single-coil pickups utilizing a mix of alnico III & V magnets - perfect for rhythm parts and rich, clear leads - vintage-style tuning machines and tremolo and aged plastic parts.

These features combine to provide everything needed for Simon and Biffy Clyro's complex and interwoven guitar riffs, chord sequences and melodies, making for an intense, exciting live show.
