This isn't just a \"reissue\"; it’s a refined evolution. Built with a two-piece select ash body and finished in a thin NOS nitrocellulose lacquer, this guitar is designed to breathe and resonate more freely the more you play it. Whether you’re channeling the crystal-clear spank of Buddy Holly or the soaring, saturated leads of Eric Johnson, the tonewood foundation here provides that quintessential Strat \"snap\" with a sophisticated, airy low end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of this beast is a trio of hand-wound '64 single-coil pickups. These are the real deal—wound by hand to capture the soul of the mid-60s. The middle pickup is reverse-wound\/reverse-polarity, giving you hum-canceling performance in positions 2 and 4, while the \"Fat '64\" bridge pickup adds just enough extra heat to push a tube amp into glorious grit. Paired with a stunning birdseye maple neck and a round-lam rosewood fingerboard, the feel is as luxurious as the tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStepping into the legacy of the Stratocaster means joining the ranks of legends like Jimi Hendrix and David Gilmour, but this Custom Shop model offers playability those icons could only dream of. With a 9.5\"-12\" compound radius and a smooth '60s Oval C profile, the neck transitions effortlessly from comfortable rhythm work down low to lightning-fast leads and big bends up high. It’s a masterclass in lutherie, ready to become the centerpiece of your collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy Buy A Guitar From Palen Music Center?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-772\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-772 citation-773 citation-end-773\"\u003ePalen Music Center has a wide range of unique guitars to enhance the sound of your music!
