This is a replica 1954 Strat using very high end parts.
Body is from an American Vintage ‘56 reissue Strat naturally reliced through play
It has the neck plate from the original guitar. Saddles are HG Highwood contoured vintage relic saddles- some of the best out there.
Pickups are Klein 1954 epic replicas; here are the spec:
The 1954 set is designed to match the original outputs and materials analyzed from authentic 1954 pickups. [1]
- Magnets: 1954 Original Alloy magnets, specifically Alnico 3.
- Wire: 1954 Original Spec 42ga Formvar wire.
- Outputs: Neck 6.0k, Middle 6.1k, and Bridge 5.9k.
- Era Accuracy: True to the original 1954 era, these pickups do not feature a reverse wound/reverse polarity (RWRP) middle pickup, meaning they do not offer hum-canceling in positions 2 and 4.
Pup covers and knobs are relic 50’s style relics
The neck is a super chunky and incredibly figured musikraft neck- it has two dark spots in the wood pictured closely- that’s how the neck came. But the relicing Is superb.
The fender decal has partially rubbed off but could be easily replaced. Personally I think it adds to the mojo. The guitar because of the thick neck is not light/ best weight I could get was around 7.9 lbs- that said it is easily playable and just had a professional set up. I don’t have a hard case for it so it will ship in a soft case and will be extremely well packed probably by ups.
All in all this guitar really has the sound and feel of an early 50s Strat- Klein nailed these pups. Hope the pics do it justice. Feel free to make an offer - I have way too many Strats and am looking to make a quick sale. This is not your average oartscaster - none of the ones I e. Put together are.
