This is a Custom made Navigator Strat. Navigator is the ESP high end custom shop that make vintage type interments. This is an amazing player but sadly I am just not a strat guy. There are many option of sounds in this guitar since it does not have a 5 way blade selector but instead has 3 toggles to activate each pickup. Giving you many more choices to choose from. All metal pieces are made from brass which looks amazing but does make the guitar heavier (Since it is brass there will be some tarnishing). If you are looking for a unique strat this is the guitar for you. Sadly I do not know what woods are used. The condition is good the brass pieces just need a good cleaning. This does come with a hard shell case(Not the best shape but will help with shipping/protecting the guitat.
