2019 Friedman Cali ARCPHH+P - Aged Copper | USA Masterbuilt Custom HH Floyd Rose Grover Jackson Relic | CoA OHSC

I am offering a Friedman Cali ARCPHH+P from 2019, a premium solidbody superstrat model handmade in the infamous boutique guitar workshop of Grover Jackson and Martin Friedman in Detroit, Michigan (USA) with a lightweight alder body including generous contours, selected bolt-on maple neck with sanded, slim "C" neck profile and 42.8mm nut width, fine Pao Ferro fingerboard with custom dot in dot inlays, tuning stable original Floyd Rose Double Locking Tremolo system AND Hipshot Locking tuners, extremely versatile Friedman HH pickup constellation consisting of a Classic Humbucker at the neck and a Classic Humbucker + at the bridge in an authentically aged Aged Copper nitrocellulose high-gloss finish with matching headstock and Aged Nickel hardware in mint condition incl. Friedman G&G luxury hardshell case, certificate (C.o.A.) and professional setup with 10-gauge Elixir strings.

Under the Friedman Guitars label, two geniuses in their field - amp modding guru Dave Friedman and master luthier legend Grover Jackson - have been building carefully designed and superbly handcrafted super strats and shred axes for over a decade, which today are among the most sought-after American boutique instruments ever. Dave Friedman has been modifying and building amps, effects and pickups for some of the biggest artists in the business for decades: Eddie Van Halen, Jerry Cantrell and Steve Stevens, to name but a few. And Grover Jackson built high-performance guitars for thousands of guitarists around the world. The fusion of these two talents results in quality instruments that bear the fruits of their combined vision and experience. And the Superstrat named "Cali" is a great representation of this combined vision and design.

As such, this Cali-ARCPHH+P combines the best in-house electronics and woods personally selected by Grover Jackson with a style of guitar making that takes great attention to detail - creating an instrument that is in a league of its own visually, sonically and playability-wise.

The guitar comes with an immaculately crafted solid alder body which, thanks to the contours for the arm, hand and belly and the low weight (3.4kg total weight!), not only resonates incredibly acoustically, but also ensures extremely pleasant handling. A one-piece maple neck with the sanded back of the neck (part of the aging) gives the guitar an incredibly high-quality feel and, thanks to the slim "C" neck profile, immediately invites you to play licks that flow smoothly from the fingers.

In terms of sound, the Cali convinces with an extremely versatile HH pickup configuration: From high-quality funky-clean sounds to high-gain rock boards, this Friedman Cali can really do it all! EVERYTHING! The Floyd Rose tremolo system allows you to embellish tones to the utmost and thanks to the Hipshot locking tuners, the guitar always stays in tune.

A sound sample of the model can be found at the end of the photo gallery (from 17:00 min).

The appearance immediately catches the eye thanks to the elaborate Aged Copper Nitro finish with matching headstock and complements the Aged Nickel hardware and the Pao Ferro fingerboard in various shades of brown in an aesthetically pleasing way.

In short: a unique masterbuilt custom guitar with an incredible attention to detail that combines perfection in sound, playability and appearance!
