A Tribute to the Legendary "L-Series" Stratocasters (1963-1965)
This limited edition Custom Shop Stratocaster follows the design cues of the early sixties "L-Series" models: rosewood "round-lam" fingerboard, comfortable neck profile, and a pickup set inspired by 1964. The Heavy Relic finish replicates the patina of a guitar played for decades, offering a familiar touch and authentically vintage charm.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
Perfect for intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a Strat with period character. It excels in blues, 60s rock, surf, soul, and funk, while remaining versatile thanks to the 5-position selector and optimized wiring that expand dynamic nuances.
Sound
The selected alder delivers balanced mids and precise attack, while the rosewood fingerboard softens the highs for a warm, singing tone. The Hand-Wound '64 pickups provide the iconic "bell" tone-tight and detailed; the RWRP middle pickup ensures naturally quieter positions 2 and 4. The " Tone-Saver bleed" preserves brightness when lowering the volume, and the vintage synchronized tremolo adds spring, sustain, and expressive vibrato.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Nickel string sets 09-42 or 10-46 (25.5" / 648 mm scale), adjustable-tension capo suitable for radii from 7.25" to 9.5", and a sturdy 2" strap to secure the instrument on stage or during rehearsals.
