Full Description
View Full DescriptionSupreme Strat magic
Three's a magic number. And that's why this premium guitar has three pristine, high performance single coil pickups. The Custom '50s Strat emit extremely low levels of noise and give your music the voice it truly deserves. The bridge pickup gives you that bright, jangly, tight sound which brings notes to life and makes them blossom. You can get that tight, crunchy rhythm sound which is perfect for chords, as well as a great lead tone for sharp solos and luscious licks.
The middle pickup offers a beautiful balance between the neck and bridge. Its tone is the perfect mixture of warm and bright, giving you plenty of scope to experiment with your sound. Switch to the neck and you'll be rewarded with a perfect, warm, wailing voice which shines with emotion and expression. Note bends will ring out with perfect levels of sustain, and chord articulation will be exceptional. With these three gems at your fingertips, you'll sound better than ever before.
The neck of dreams
A life of luxury. There's nothing quite like having a Custom Shop neck in your hands, knowing it is one of the finest you will ever lay fingers on. The sweet, sleek, smooth maple neck on this pristine guitar is of the highest quality. Sculpted into a '60s Oval "C"-shape with the finest attention to detail you can imagine, it offers you everything you could ever desire – smooth fret transitions, comfortable grip, and a beautiful, bright resonance. You'll be able to express yourself cleanly and with complete accuracy all along the fretboard, and your licks will glimmer with character.
Majestic maple
Sleek. Refined. Superior. There's also a pristine maple fretboard to go with the neck. Bright and beautiful, it delivers the ideal playing experience. Your fingers will be in paradise when they feel just how smooth, fast, and comfortable this tool truly is. Fret transitions will be a breeze, and you'll be able to improvise at will. Whether you’re jamming some blues or strumming some rock 'n' roll, or playing anything else, this snappy, premium wood will deliver the perfect resonance and playability.
A bold body
