Personal Thoughts:
This is one of the most beastly Custom Shop Strats we've had through—a true hot-rod built for the stage. It blends vintage tone and looks with a modern, aggressive edge thanks to the DiMarzio Super Distortion in the bridge. Fat '60s handwound pickups give you creamy, chimey Strat tones in the neck and middle positions, while the bridge absolutely screams with punch and midrange bite.
The 12" radius and jumbo frets make bending and lead work a breeze. Whether you're into classic blues, hard rock, or anything in between, this Strat is a Swiss Army knife with attitude. The relic work is tastefully brutal, and the neck feels like a perfectly worn-in vintage guitar from day one.
Condition Report:
Excellent condition. No damage beyond factory relic that I can see. Frets are clean, electronics perfect, and the neck feels incredible in hand. Includes original Custom Shop case and certificate.
