California Standard

Not Just A Pretty Face – The California Standard was designed for the musician who is looking for great tone and great looks. The alder body delivers that sought after classic 60’s sound while the flamed maple top and pearl pickguard embellishments add an exclusive visual touch. The bridge humbucker proves that “fat is where it’s at” when it’s solo time while the VSC-4 lets you break the tone barrier all the time.

Adjustable Tension Guide

Every detail of a Blade® guitar represents a commitment to engineering perfection. The Adjustable Tension Guide (ATG) perfectly balances the string tension at the nut with an asymmetric spring loaded height adjustment to keep you in tune, no matter how hard you wail on your whammy bar

CONDITION: Excellent, showing no signs of play wear, we gave it a fresh Pro Setup and it plays out of this world. Considered the European Strat Killer and for good reason too. The Neck is thin and very fast, the tone range is expansive and covers all of your needs. We all just love this Guitar. Includes a Hard Shell Case, Whammy Bar, Guitar Wall Hanger & Extra Strings too.
