Gil Yaron Late 50s Style Stratocaster 2013 2-tone sunburst

I am the original owner of this rare Gil Yaron strat style guitar. The design is based on a late 50s Stratocaster, with 1 piece alder body and maple neck. The guitar weighs 7.28pounds. It’s been very well looked after and in excellent condition, with some minor scuffs, but no chips.  I’m selling this at a very competitive price compared to other Yarons, as I need to release funds.  

Gil is renowned for using only the highest quality materials and applying the highest-level workmanship to produce his guitars. The guitar is very resonate through the neck and body and very load acoustically. It has a big, organic sound, with fantastic playability. The quality of the tone is also driven by the big neck, which is quite easy to play (even for those with smaller hands).  

I’ve had mostly minor maintenance work done to the guitar as follows:

·       Frets have been recently dressed due to a minor wear from years of playing, and now plays smoothly

·       I changed the pickups at one point, but preferred the originals and had them re-installed

·       I removed the treble bleed circuit (resistor & capacitor), which I ordered originally in the guitar. But the circuit is included in the sale and can be re-installed if desired.
