Circumstances have forced me to put my ultimate maple neck-ash body S-type guitar for sale. This beautiful custom order D'Pergo was ordered by me as a super lightweight, big-necked, example of a '50's strat and that's what I got from Stefan. Although it's perfect for all the different types of playing styles and music genres, I've always play this guitar with bare fingers like Jeff Beck, Mark Knopfler, and Richard Thompson with a clean tone. The guitar just rings for days on arpeggios and its massive piano-like tone is perfect for fingerstyle because it just translates all those subtle string manipulations into pure expressive tone. It's that one guitar that begs to be played through a clean Fender amp. I've owned three D'pergos and 5 Fender Customer Shop strats and Teles (including an incredible Cunetto Mary Kaye strat), this is the best of the lot. But I realize I don't have time to play as much as I used to and this guitar was always too nice to play out so I never did (that's what those awesome cheap Japanese strats are for!), hence it's kept its true mint condition. And now it's available for another strat geek to add to the top of their collection.
