Personal Thoughts:
This Strat has all the mojo of a well-loved vintage '60s guitar but with modern playability and reliability. The extra relic work pushes it into ultra-cool territory—it looks and feels like a piece of history. Jason Smith’s builds are some of the most sought-after in the Custom Shop world, and the tone out of the Josephina-wound M.D LTD pickups is stunning—bright, open, and full of snap.
If you’re after the full Custom Shop experience, this is the one. It's unique, loaded with character, and built by one of the best in the game.

Excellent condition. Frets are great, setup is spot-on, and the guitar is all original with no modifications. Comes complete with original case, COA, and case candy.
