The way masterbuilder Ron Thorn has interpreted this black '63 Stratocaster is in a league of its own. Numerous hairline cracks and only minor flaws and abrasions subtly cover the worn, matt, deep dark finish. Vintage patina at its best! The era-appropriate greenguard and the dark rosewood fingerboard are a perfect match. With the "60 Style Oval C" neck profile, 9.5" fingerboard radius and the proven Narrow/Tall frets this Strat is of course extremely comfortable to play and offers fantastic handling. Even when played dry the guitar resonates exceptionally well and has a wonderfully sustain-rich basic character, which the three handwound "60 Strat" pickups transmit perfectly to the amp. Super bell-like and pearly with the intermediate position of the neck and middle pickups delivering pure John Mayer sound. A thick, bluesy tone that never gets harsh, classic round Strat sounds to kneel down to! So, if you want a Stratocaster that is not only visually but also sonically classically beautiful, you will feel right at home here. We are delighted that this masterbuilt Strat will also be delivered to its future owner in mint condition at an absolutely top price.
