About this listing
Very lightweight (3150g) and well-balanced, with a gorgeous neck.I, personally, love tempered pine guitars, but I tend to play Novo Idris more often than this beauty...The "Old Pine" Stratocaster. The wood used to build this unique guitar originates from a massive grain elevator in Superior, Wisconsin, which was the largest of its kind in the world when it was built in 1887. At the end of the 20th century, this mammoth structure was gradually dismantled, and the reclaimed material was sold—often ending up as wall paneling in luxury U.S. residences. The recovery of this timber was documented in the History Channel series Ax Men. In 2017, this limited-edition USA Stratocaster was born. Fender originally used pine for guitar bodies during the very beginning of their production in the 1950s. Body: Reclaimed Eastern White Pine featuring natural knots and vintage nail holes. The wood is roasted (thermally treated) and finished with a satin urethane lacquer. Neck: Maple with a "D" profile and a 9.5" radius fingerboard. Electronics: Equipped with Pure Vintage '59 Single-Coil Strat pickups. Switching: Classic 5-way selector switch setup. Minor cosmetic lacquer crack on the neck joint, frets might need dressing (but 90% ok), otherwise as perfect.
