The Story

1969 Roasted Alder Stratocaster Electric Guitar Heavy Relic Black

This Strat combines vintage style, relic looks, and modern materials for a guitar that looks and feels as good as it sounds! The Maple neck and Alder body have both undergone a roasting process that eliminates excess moisture and sugars for rock-solid stability and extra punchy tones. The appointments are all late 60's style, with a reliced Black finish, a vintage-style six-screw tremolo, and the classic Strat controls. The handwound Strat pickups are 10% underwound for extra sparkle, but rest assured these pickups deliver gobs of pure Strat tone.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Strap, Cable, Maintenance Kit, Polish Cloth, Paperwork
