Personal Thoughts:
As a massive fan of '50s and '60s Strats, this one ticks all the right boxes. The Seafoam Green finish is absolutely stunning, and combined with the rosewood, it gives off a real early-‘60s vibe. The vintage tall 6105 frets are an excellent touch, offering a nice balance of playability while retaining that classic feel. It’s the perfect blend of vintage looks with modern precision.
I particularly love how the hand-wound Custom Shop '50s pickups capture that bell-like chime and warm, woody tone. Whether you’re after glassy cleans or that classic Strat spank, this guitar delivers in spades.
