This '60s Stratocaster comes equipped with an iconic trio of pickups - the Custom Shop hand-wound Texas special single-coils. Thanks to these, your tone is infused with a vintage style that sounds like it has been plucked straight from the '60s. Crisp, clear highs, a chirpy midrange, and articulate lows combine to produce a well-balanced and versatile tone that is ready to tackle a variety of genres, styles, and techniques.

Keep switching your Strat to find the perfect voicing for your song or overall sound. Also featured is a volume control with a treble-bleed circuit, which ensures all of your amazing tones aren’t lost or affected when the levels are reduced.
Stand out from the rest
For even more expression, this Custom Shop is crafted with a synchronised tremolo bridge and a tremolo arm for an unmistakable vibrato effect. Change the way your notes play with an added wobble to add a unique flair to your music. Not only that, but the addition of this also ensures that your intonation is stable and accurate. Keep your performance on-point all night.
Feel right at home
Not only does this model's sound offer the perfect performance, but it has also been crafted to ensure the playability is comfortable. Its alder body is lightweight so you can roam the stage without feeling weighed down, whilst the elegant contours ensure it rests naturally during both standing and seated performances.
This has been perfectly complemented by the C shaped neck, which rests in the palm of your hand in a secure, supported manner and offers the perfect base for your hand to glide between frets with ease. This has been topped off with a nitrocellulose finish, ensuring your transitions are smooth. Its maple neck has been paired with a rosewood finger, which not only offers incredible tonalities, but also feels luxurious under your fingers with every note or chord played.
