Description

Description

Loaded with a duo of Hand-wound Tomatillo pickups in the neck and middle positions in partnership with a Hand-wound Poblano in the bridge, this Strat oozes vintage tone with increased sparkle, chime and sizzle. In hand, this Strat feels lightning fast with unparalleled comfort thanks to its contoured neck heel and Modern C neck profile.

Roasted Ash

The already perfect combination of an Ash body, Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard, but made even better! Roasting the Ash body in effect, ages and seasons the wood to absolute perfection. All moisture, sugars and saps are roasted away, leaving you with a piece of timber which feels like it’s been seasoned for 100 years. Perfectly resonant and often more lightweight. Wonderfully complemented by its Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard, this (model) is resonant and lively with increased sustain and overtone.

Fender Custom Shop

The Fender Dream Factory… Fender’s best luthiers, using the best materials and tools all under one roof with the single unified mission of building the best guitars that Fender has ever produced. Founded in 1987, the Custom Shop was established to take Fender’s manufacturing back to its roots with smaller production numbers and higher quality. Famed for pushing Leo’s designs to their absolute limits, the Custom Shop is the benchmark to which all other Fender electric guitars are compared to!

Key Features

Modern C – Fender ultimate one-size-fits-all neck profile! Ergonomical and fast, with the perfect amount of wood to hold on to.
Quartersawn Maple – Straight-grained and around 50% more stable than a traditional plain-sawn neck.
Contoured Heel – Effortlessly transition between the first position up to the dusty end thanks to this (model) contoured neck heel.
Journeyman Relic Nitro Finish – Expertly aged and relic’d to look like it has been your most prized possession for over 50 years. Lightly aged and checkered with some honest playwear, but generally in a condition that shows this guitar was meticulously looked after and cherished.

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.
