This is our latest and greatest Music Zoo Exclusive "Hacksaw Relic". A 1957 Stratocaster Masterbuilt by Jason Smith with a black finish that's beat to hell and back with a very wild look to it.
What's a Hacksaw Relic? We've all seen those funky pawn shop finds. Vintage guitars that have been modded to hell and back, with different pickups, changed wiring, a new set of tuners. Every once in a while, there's a diamond in the rough that's a fantastic player. We wanted to see what would happen if we took that concept to the Fender Custom Shop, and they've knocked it out of the park.
This '57 features a HS pickup configuration with reflective metallica material under the pickguard to cover the missing middle pickup and add some flash to an otherwise stark black looking instrument.There's a handwound El Diablo pickup in the neck with an EVH Wolfgang in the bridge. Nice touches by Jason are the 3-way toggle plugged into where the blade switch would be, along with a washer holding some of the pickguard in place and a very cool retro looking knob as the sole volume control. This guitar is just too cool, and it plays like butter. Jason made our dreams come true with this one!
Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Case Candy and Paperwork
