The Story

1959 Stratocaster Heavy Relic Seminole Red

Looking for an eye-catching Strat that'll suit your lead-player needs? This one is it! A '59 Strat with a beautiful Seminole Red finish given a heavy relic treatment. The alder body and quartersawn maple neck are both roasted, removing excess moisture for a resonant sound and stability throughout weather shifts. It's the specs of the fretboard that make this a great lead guitar: a compound 9.5-12" fretboard radius and jumbo frets make this one play like butter!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Paperwork, Trem Arm
