Personal Thoughts:
The Dealer Exclusive Flamethrower Series pushes the Custom Shop Stratocaster into boutique-grade territory, and this Candy Green example is nothing short of spectacular. The finish glows with vintage charm, beautifully offset by the AAAA flamed maple neck and AAA rosewood fingerboard, giving this piece a luxurious, high-end aesthetic rarely seen on a '60s-style Strat.
Playability is flawless — the Mid-’60s Oval “C” neck feels fast and sleek, with just enough substance for grip. The compound 9.5"–16" radius and 6100 jumbo frets make for effortless bending and precision, while the sorted-for-light-weight alder body keeps it resonant and perfectly balanced.
Tonally, the Custom Shop 60’s hand-wound pickups deliver glassy, articulate cleans with that unmistakable Strat chime, but with slightly hotter output and warmth that make them equally at home in blues, pop, or classic rock. Combined with the modern wiring and split-taper pots, you get maximum versatility without losing the soul of a vintage Strat.
A masterfully spec’d Custom Shop creation that blends the timeless beauty of a ’62 Strat with cutting-edge modern refinement. Stunning in every sense — visually, tonally, and in craftsmanship.
