The Story

NoNeck 1960 Stratocaster Music Zoo Exclusive Daphne Blue NOS 2019

This is a used Zoo-Exclusive NoNeck Strat in NOS Daphne Blue, built in 2019. The guitar is still super clean and includes the original case, COA and Fender case candy. The name "NoNeck" may seem like a bit of a misnomer, but the "No" in "NoNeck" comes from the original '51 Nocaster, which had a fat, comfortable neck. But it's not just the neck shape that makes these guitars special: We have rolled some of our favorite guitar specs into the NoNeck as well. A flatter-than-vintage 9.5" radius Rosewood fingerboard and big 6105 medium jumbo frets make bends and fast single-note lines easy. The pickups are Custom Shop '60 Strat single-coils, but with a twist in the middle pickup: it's reverse wound, flipping the polarity so when the 5-way pickup selector is in one of the "in-between" positions the usual pickup hum is gone. Absolutely essential if you crank it up and play with overdrive!

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