This Stratocaster guitar incorporates a lot of the unique details from one of the most sought-after and collectable Strat guitars ever made, and features a nitrocellulose-lacquered 10/56 neck and two-piece alder body, three Custom ’50s single-coil pickups and single-ply pickguard. We’ve even recreated tooling holes and marks made during the original production process.
