Stored in its case for most of its life, this guitar has seldom seen use, which is surprising, for a lively and resonant guitar. After a fret dress and full set-up, it's currently running with a set of D'Addario 10-46 and a floating tremolo. Little signs of use, even on the case. When you first pick up the guitar, you'll notice how clean it is throughout. Not bad at all for a 12 year old instrument!
Originally custom ordered by GAK in Brighton, this model features all the hallmarks you'd expect, from both a vintage instrument and a Custom Shop reissue. This is an ideal guitar for someone looking get vintage aesthetics and feel, with modern appointments.
Based on an original 1956 Strat, you get a trio of well balanced, period authentic pickups, a large 10/56V neck profile, nitrocellulose lacquer, a vintage 6-point tremolo and many other standard specifications for that year. On top of that, you also get a flatter 9.5" radius fretboard and Sanko 6105 fretwork for easier string bending.
