This is a really classy Masterbuilt Strat and exactly the sort of spec that makes a lot of sense on a Vincent Van Trigt build. Vintage White with the chocolate three-tone burst showing through the heavy relic work gives it loads of character, and it has that properly worn custom-colour look that always works so well on an early-’60s Strat. The spec underneath is just as strong. The round-lam rosewood board, 10" radius and 6150 fretwire should make it a very easy guitar to play, while the Mike D. Bone Tone set gives it something a bit more distinctive than the more usual pickup choices. I also like the blender with Greasebucket setup here, because that gives the guitar a broader usable range without losing the core Strat feel. A very attractive and very player-friendly Masterbuilt Strat.

Mint condition. Factory heavy relic finish as part of the original Masterbuilt spec. No additional wear of note beyond the intentional ageing.
