The Story

1969 Stratocaster Relic Black Reverse Headstock

Not your average black Strat! This is a Zoo-spec'd 1969 Reissue tweaked out with a reverse headstock, abalone dot inlay and a dark African Blackwood fretboard! We love the looks of this one with the black multi-ply guard against the relic finish and matching black plastics. The electronics are a trio of Custom Shop Fat '60s pickups with 1/2 Blender controls where the middle control is a master tone, the furthest tone is actually a neck blend control that brings in the neck pickup as you dial it back from ten. Lastly, this one is a hardtail bridge for a simple setup and increased resonance!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Case Candy and Paperwork
