The Story

HSH '57 Stratocaster Heavy Relic Black

Imagine a '50s Strat that's been gigged for 50 years and survived the '80s but someone tweaked it for a HSH pickup configuration! This is a Zoo-spec '57 Strat in Heavy Relic Black with a tortoise shell guard, soft "V" maple neck and a humbucker-single-humbucker pickup configuration of DiMarzios! Versatility at its best, this is a very fun Strat to plug in!

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