Tribute Guitarworks Memories of '57 Stratocaster, Don Mare Super Sports!

Please check out the attached video. Don Mare's pickups are some of the best vintage-sounding pickups on the planet. He's a true hidden gem. His single-coil pickups are truly amazing and beautifully voiced!

Here is a Tribute Guitarworks Strat in as-new condition.  No expense was spared in creating one of the finest playing and sounding instruments available anywhere. This guitar is the very first under my new trade-name "Tribute Guitarworks" and I knew going in that it had to be perfect! This is the prototype of the "Memories of '57" model, which I have used to demo the model only. It has never been played outside of a demo situation, and could be considered a "shop model." The buyer of this guitar will be its' first owner, though not the first to play it. Every single option in this guitar is from the "top tier" selection. 

Only the finest components were used to create something really special. Here is a list of the features:
-Don Mare Super Sport pickups
-Gotoh 18:1 locking tuners
-Fender Vintage bridge with cover
-Fender Aged Pearloid pickguard (matching back-plate comes with, but not installed. I will install it at the buyer's request.)
-Genuine Fender knobs, solid brass switch-tip
-Bill Lawrence pickup blending control system hand-wired (Fez Parka)
-Quarter-sawn maple neck from Warmoth with maple cap (beautiful!!) with compound 9.5-14" radius. Full D neck profile.
-Warmoth ash body in two-tone burst. GORGEOUS!
-Fender Tweed Case

A note on playability: Achieving perfect playability is always a top goal. After all, who wants a beautiful looking, and sounding guitar that doesn't also play beautifully? Creating such an instrument is as much art as it is science. Basically, it's a balancing act between four things; fret-work, nut cut, bridge adjustment and neck relief. The guitar you are looking at has been perfectly balanced to achieve the lowest, smoothest action possible while simultaneously avoiding annoying buzz and fret-out. I will give this guitar one final polish and tune-up before it leaves my hands assuring you that the guitar you receive will represent my finest work. Ultimately beautiful, with awesome tone AND incredibly smooth playability!

In the memory of the finest Stratocasters made by Fender in the '50s, this instrument was meticulously constructed and crafted to give you years of trouble-free performance and timeless beauty. I couldn't be more proud of how this one turned out; it's perfect in every way! I will stake my reputation on this-you will not find a better Strat at this price anywhere.

Thanks for looking. Read my feedback and make your purchase with complete confidence. Please ask any questions you might have. I will answer promptly and courteously. Rock on!
