USA Made Relic Style Stratocaster Partscaster w/ Vintage Dual Hotrail

Worn Relic Custom Stratocaster from The Luthiers Vault. Who needs a completely name brand custom strat guitar, with over-priced paperwork--- when you can own this?

The best beautiful vintage look and feel of a road worn instrument, on planet Earth IMO.

I will someday regret selling it.

The body was relic'd, assembled, stained, wipe-on poly coated and hand sanded smooth in the U.S.A, with many hours spent visualizing what the finest relic on planet Earth, should look like. I do not clone guitars. I build Vintage Relic partscasters to suit my personal touch... so don't expect exact specifications of what a $12.5K to $25K all original vintage guitar has. It's got the Full Sized Trem Block, I do remember having to shave it down to fit properly inside the body... and that it took about 4 hours to plane the back side. My fingertips are still throbbing. It has an Allen Set Screw Plug installed in the trem opening to have this guitar hardtailed, by choice--- most likely to make permanent. Can't remember if threads were boogered, or not. 

The worn pickguard, is done in semi-aged White. The bridge saddles and tuners were done to my preference (rather than seeking any clone appeal). It has plenty of dents, chips, cracks, blemishes, wear and sentiments attached to this piece. What more can I say? While this guitar was built in the USA, not all parts were manufactured in the USA.

Also, unfortunately we do not refund any costs associated with adjustments and setup that you may do to the guitar. It may need additional flashing in the body cavity, depending on how much guitar hum may be created by the amplification being used. It is super light weight... est. 6lbs. The body is extremely resonant... and it sounds incredible. Looks, incredible... and all that jazz...

The body is extremely resonant... and made from Palawana wood which sounds incredible. Looks, incredible as well... 

For Guitar Body use, Palawana Wood is described as having:

Immediate vibration transfer — the body comes alive the moment the strings move, almost like a semi‑hollow without the feedback issues.

• Enhanced midrange bloom — not honky, not scooped; instead, a wide, breathing midrange that makes chords feel three‑dimensional.
• High acoustic volume — unplugged, the guitar feels louder and more “alive” than typical alder or basswood builds.

This guitar is designed to be lightweight, perfect for the gigging musician who doesn't want a heavier guitar hanging on their neck for hours. If you do not like lightweight guitars, this guitar is not for you. 

Sorry Watchers, sitting on the sidelines. This item will not sell for any less than its asking price (and, if it does not sell I will most likely be glad it's staying right where it is...). Just sayin'... it's a no-disappointment piece, folks! Is As-IS... and all sales are final.

Please make sure to ask all questions prior to ordering.

I do unfortunately only ship to the 48 U.S. Continental States and all used gear is sold as-is. I do ship within 24hrs. of your purchase payment.

Disclosure: ALL GUITARS MAY REQUIRE A SET UP!!! Players have such varied opinions that I no longer want to hear about it.
