Description

Here we have a Strat that you definitely don't see every day. With this '69 Heavy-Relic a rare “Candy Apple Red Gold Sparkle” finish meets the very best player characteristics and fat Poblano sounds. Masterbuilder Dale Wilson has really pulled out all the visual stops! In addition to the phenomenal finish he convinces with an unobtrusive Heavy Relicing and black pickguard, which makes the finish look even cooler and compliments the show look of the guitar perfectly. So if you're looking for a very special Strat with style, this is the guitar for you! But the Stratocaster also impresses as a player across the board. The slightly more powerful “1969 U” neck profile sits perfectly in the hand and in combination with the 9.5'' fingerboard radius and the proven 6105 frets is ideal for powerful rhythm playing and relaxed soloing. The pickups used are “Josefina Handwound Poblanos”, which as comparatively hotter wound pickups guarantee a fantastic feast for the ears: pearly, bell-like and balanced with a slight compression as we know it from old Strats. From the juiciest Blues on the neck to silky chords in the intermediate positions and uncompromising Rock on the bridge, everything is possible in top form. Together with the pithy basic character of the guitar this results in a super energetic sound that really makes you want to dig in. The only question that remains to be answered is whether this is a great showpiece or an absolute masterpiece. Fortunately this can remain unanswered as this exclusive Stratocaster, which we can offer you in top condition, fulfills both requirements in full.incl. original case, certificate, spec sheet, strap, case candyweight: 3460 gramssubject to differential taxation
