Graphite Stratocaster with David Gilmore EMG DG-20 Loaded Pickguard

This Stratocaster features a graphite laminated over Alder body with a genuine Klos solid graphite neck and an EMG David Gilmore loaded guard. It was built for the stage or studio advanced player. I made this for myself, but play so little now, putting up for sale so some other player can indulge.

Graphite neck, pure, fast, never needs adjustment, the most playable neck I've used. Compound taper fron a 9 1/2" to a 15" or so radius. Loaded up with D'Addario XL Custom 10ga to 46 ga strings. Combined with the Graphite body and the balanced and matching of the pickups gives this piece outrageous sound.

The sustain is remarkable. I measure sustain by plucking the lower E string, unplugged and feel how long I can feel vibrations. A standard Alder body Stratocaster gives 12 to 14 seconds. This neck gives me a 21 seconds continual vibration. Enough said.

I can't say you'll sound just like the Pink Floyd master, but really who can, but buddy, only 2% will know the difference.

Cost basis: body $350, neck 700, electronics 350, plates 25, case 100 comes to $1525, so will list for just over $250 that just because I love to build guitars

If you buy and for any reason this baby is not for you, you can return undamaged and unaltered and I will give you the $85 shipping back.

Needs a case and this one comes with a premium tweed hard shell case

If you can glide your fingers over this baby for the first time and land on any chord and just hold, I believe your jaw will be dropping!

Thanks for viewing!
