The Story

'60s Roasted Mahogany Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar Natural

Just when we think we've done it all in terms of what can be done with a Strat...inspiration strikes again. This is a '60s Stratocaster relic with a natural finish over a roasted mahogany body. Mahogany bodied Strats were actually made by Fender in the early '60s and are incredibly rare, so when given the opportunity to create a modern version, of course we said yes - so long as we could roast it! The roasted mahogany gives the guitar an increased midrange and overall "body" to the traditional Strat sound...it's great for being used as a lead instrument in a band context. Add in the oil finished (and also roasted) quartersawn maple neck with the Duncan JB humbucker, and you've got a guitar built for some excellent ripping solos.

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