Custom Fender Stratocaster Gilmour Inspired "Red Strat" Candy Apple Red EMG DG20 with Gigbag

This is a mint conditinon, basically brand new, Fender Stratocaster that has been custom built to spec of David Gilmour's famous Red Strat that defined his tone from 1985-2005. Rarely played, it still has the plastic on the pickguard.

The body is a new Genuine Fender Classic 60s Alder Strat finished in Candy Apple Red gloss poly. This model has vintage 2 7/32" string spacing. It is loaded with the EMG DG-20 pickguard assembly with the pickguard changed from the stock pearloid to a single ply 8 hole white with matching tremolo cover and parchment knobs and tips, to stay true to the original Red Strat. The tremolo is a genuine Fender big block vintage style with a short 4.25" arm like Dave's to be held by your pinky while soloing.

Here are the details for the DG20 assembly from the EMG website: "David Gilmour is recognized the world over for his revolutionary and incomparable sound with the legendary Pink Floyd and his work as a solo artist. When you hear the tones coming out of his red Strat® you're hearing his signature EMG Pro Series system: the DG20. This set utilizes our ivory Alnico loaded SA single coil pickups, an EXG Guitar Expander for increased treble and bass frequencies, and an SPC presence control to enhance your Strat's earthiness and mid-range."

The neck is a new Genuine Fender Classic 50s 21 fret 1pc maple, factory finished in vintage tint gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. It features a vintage 7.25" fretboard radius, synthetic bone nut, soft V back contour and walnut skunk stripe and headstock plug. The frets have been leveled, crowned and polished. It is fitted with Fender Pure Vintage tuners and a Kluson string tree.

The guitar weighs 7.6 lbs and has nice smooth action for those big bluesy bends and is strung with David Gilmour signature GHS Boomers 10-48 gauge strings with the tremolo floating

Also included is a Fender Deluxe padded gigbag shown.
