Personal Thoughts:
This 2025 Limited Edition Roasted 50’s Strat brings together vintage looks with the best of modern Custom Shop enhancements. The Sonic Blue Closet Classic finish has just the right amount of age to give it character, without going overboard—light checking, subtle edge wear, and beautiful patina.
The AAAA roasted maple neck is a highlight here. The flame is deep and consistent, and the 10/56 "V" profile fills the hand with a bold but comfortable grip. It feels fast and stable, and paired with the compound radius and 6105 frets, it plays as effortlessly as any modern boutique build.
Tonally, it’s a monster. The El Diablo bridge pickup brings searing heat and power, while the Ancho Poblano middle and neck keep things rich, dynamic, and vintage-voiced. The Fat '50s 1/2 Blender wiring opens up loads of tonal combinations, making this a true tone chaser’s Strat.
