That the aging of Vincent van Trigt's guitars is simply phenomenal should be sufficiently known by now and is also shown by the waiting time for one of his instruments of 9 years by now. But how the shooting star of the masterbuilders has interpreted the Lake Placid Blue on this 1961 Stratocaster is already in a league of its own. Not only do the countless cracks, scratches and paint chips look simply sensational, but also the very slight color gradient into greenish "worn" in the very places that are exposed to constant contact with the player give the guitar a really special vintage patina. Fittingly, it comes with an AA flame neck, which makes it feel just as good as it looks. With the Modern-C profile and 12" radius it plays extremely comfortably in conjunction with the tried-and-true 6105 Narrow/Tall frets and offers the kind of modern handling you're actually used to from Suhr or Tom Anderson guitars. So it feels like you're walking in the happy medium of vintage feel and modern playability. The pickup combination consists of the fantastic blend of 69 Strat on the neck, Fat 50s in the middle and Texas Special on the bridge. This covers all the classic Strat sounds in top form and emphasizes the percussive, as well as sustain-rich basic character of the guitar. So, if you want a Strat that not only looks good but also has a lot of character, you can't go wrong with this van Trigt. We can offer you this unique instrument in mint condition without any play marks on the frets.
