Rizzuto Guitars True Temperament VRS w/ Fender Stratocaster Clapton Midboost Strat Preamp

The True Temperament fret design makes chords play more in tune up and down the neck. It is surprising how easy it is to adjust to these crazy shaped frets and how amazing the guitar plays and sounds with this innovation.

This guitar uses the best available hardware and electronics and is meticulously set up for optimal playability. It is absolutely on par with the best boutique guitars in the marketplace. If the buyer is not 100% satisfied, it can be returned for a full refund less shipping by contacting within 48 hours of delivery.

The Seymour Duncan 'lil 59 bridge humbucker, vintage Rizzuto 59 single coils (middle is RWRP) and Fender midboost make this a supremely versatile instrument. The midboost can be bypassed with the push/push lower tone knob which also controls the amount of midboost. This is true bypass wiring so it is removed from the circuit when bypassed. The middle knob is a TBX tone control. This setup gets all of the passive tones of an HSS strat plus the active variants when activated. The midboost increases gain and thickness and changes the interaction of the volume knob. This is similar to the circuit Michael Landau used for his legendary recordings.

The body is Alder. 25.5 inch scale length and 12 radius. The neck has a slick matte finish on the back while the headstock is high gloss. The side dots are Luminlay. The nut is a GraphTech TUSQ XL self lubricating that was hand shaped and slotted for optimal action. The locking tuners are GOTOH vintage with staggered height. The tremolo is a two post from GOTOH. The saddle height adjustment screws were changed to sizes that do not protrude for easier, more comfortable palm muting.

Please note. As seen in the pictures, the pickguard was initially too close to the tremolo but that has since been corrected but routing away one-sixteenth of that section of the guard.

This guitar will ship with a new high end Gator Icon gig bag or a molded hard case. A deluxe G&G case is also available for an extra charge.
