Custom Fender USA Stratocaster Dream Machine Inspired Teal Green Nitro Birdseye Maple DiMarzio HS-2 Pups Light Relic

Here's the latest "DreamScaster" from E11even Guitars. This custom build is composed of USA components, aged relic hardware and nitro finish. It is built in the style of a late 70s Dream Machine and is a soloists delight with killer tone and playability.

The body is a genuine 2002 Fender American Highway One made of Alder and finished in a beautiful transparent Teal Green thin nitro finish. This is a very rare color and the first of its kind we've seen come through our shop. It has light scratches, dings and natural player ware as you would expect on a 20 year old guitar. It is fitted with Gotoh Aged Relic chrome hardware, aged chrome solid brass dome knobs and a solid brass tremolo bridge, similar to those found on vintage Dream Machines, aged here in the E11even Guitars Custom Shop along with one of our laser etched custom shop neck plates.

We built the pickguard assembly on a medium relic vintage Schecter Black anodized aluminum pickguard with natural player ware using all new USA electronics. The electronics feature DiMarzio HS-2 stacked pickups with Aged White covers, Carling flat bat mini toggles with dress nuts, CTS 500K solid shaft volume and tone pots with .022uf Orange Drop and .1uf Blue 104 disc tone capacitors. The individual pickup switches are wired so the Down position is full output, Middle position is Off and Up position is singlecoil (top coil). The top knob is a master Volume control while both Tone knobs function as master Tone controls. The middle knob is setup with the common .022uf capacitor and the lower knob with the .1uf (EJ) capacitor. Having two separate master Tone controls, along with individual On-Off-On mini toggles for each pickup, gives you an incredibly broad range of tone possibilities. You can even get some interesting out of phase tones by certain combinations of singlecoil with dual coil switch settings.

The neck is a gorgeous new USA luthier made 1pc Birdseye Maple with 22 jumbo frets, 10" fretboard radius, 42mm Graph Tech Tusq XL nut, Standard C rear profile, heel adjusting trussrod and a clear satin nitro finish. The frets have been leveled, crowned and polished and the neck is fitted with a new set of genuine Kluson Supreme vintage staggered post tuners aged here in our custom shop.

The guitar weighs 7.6 lbs and is strung with GHS Boomers 9-42 gauge strings with the tremolo setup floating. It has silky smooth playability with a wonderful tremolo feel that holds tune nicely. It includes the new Fender Deluxe padded gigbag shown and will ship UPS with a signature required for delivery.
