FEATHERWEIGHT! These average Just a bit over 6 lbs! We start with a 35mm Pauwlonia Core and attach 5mm Spruce boards to top and back, then carve a ST shaped body. The result is a super lightweight guitar with excellent structural rigidity. Strap buttons are screwed directly into solid maple dowels, so we never compromise strength!
We use super high quality XGP brand LOCKING tuners with vintage buttons, a solid steel bridge plate with machined, compensated STAINLESS STEEL saddles for ridiculous sustain. The pickups are what makes this guitar compete with models listing for 3 or 4 times the price- Our famed "POWER 8" 14K Alnico VIII Bridge pickup and a pair of famed overwound GFS "60's Greybottom" ALnico single coils. The tone control pulls up to turn the humbucker into a single coil for true vintage Strat Tones.
Our Canadian Hard Rock maple neck features an Indian Rosewood fingerboard- yes the prohibition is over! 22 Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets with perfect rounded ends adorn the fingerboard. Our heel located truss rod wheel makes for effortless neck adjustments.
