Product Details
________________________________

Have you ever felt that modern guitars just can't quite capture the depth of the thick, crisp sound produced by Jimi Hendrix and Ritchie Blackmore with their large-headstock guitars?

The unique harmonics of the large headstock, and the sustain provided by the round-laminated fretboard\recreating the tone of the turbulent year of 1969 is no easy feat. Simply mimicking the shape won't produce that soul-stirring resonance.

A quarter of a century after the Custom Shop's founding, a team of skilled craftsmen have poured their efforts into creating this 2012 1969 Stratocaster Relic. The carefully selected quarter-sawn maple neck transmits string vibrations to the body without loss, promising a direct impact to the player.

The biggest highlight is the hand-wired pickups by legendary craftsman Abigail Ybarra. Now that she has retired, this vintage sound, combining thickness and richness, is an extremely rare and valuable asset. The CBS logo, F keys, and relic finish all surpass the original in quality.

Equipped with Abigail Ybarra's pickups, this guitar is becoming increasingly rare in the market. This particular example dates from 2012, a time when the Custom Shop was at its peak. If you miss this opportunity, you never know when you'll encounter such an impressive sound again.

For those seeking a large-headstock guitar to cherish for a lifetime, experience its imposing appearance and sparkling highs by plugging it directly into an amp. A new door to your guitar journey is about to open.
