The Story

NoNeck 1960 Stratocaster Music Zoo Exclusive Journeyman Relic Inca Silver

This NoNeck Strat is one of the most comfortable playing guitars we have here at the Zoo. 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! This NoNeck comes in a very unique Inca Silver finish with a Journeyman Relic treatment that has added some greening into the Inca Silver, like a guitar which has sat in the case in the sun for a bit, lightly aging the finish!

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