A Strat with a Workshop Feel, Heir to the 60s Icon
Designed in the spirit of well-worn Strats, this limited edition pushes the "relic" aesthetic far to offer the look and feel of a collectible piece played on stage for decades. At its core, it features historical codes (alder, slab rosewood fingerboard) serving a modern and reliable configuration.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Tailored for intermediate to expert guitarists, this Strat shines in blues, rock, funk, and pop, while also venturing into indie and soul. The comfortable craftsmanship and jumbo frets favor bends, precise rhythmic playing, and expressive solos, both on stage and in the studio.
Sound
The SSS Dual-Mag II trio delivers an authentic Strat palette with more presence and excellent string-to-string definition. The RWRP middle pickup effectively reduces hum in positions 2 and 4, producing impeccable clear "quack" tones. The "1/2 Blender" wiring allows blending neck and bridge pickups for unique colors, close to a neck+bridge "T" style configuration. The "Tone Saver" module preserves highs when lowering the volume, ensuring consistent clarity. The alder/torrefied maple/rosewood combination offers attack, balanced mids, and natural sustain, while the vintage 6-screw tremolo and bent steel saddles provide bite and resonance.
