You’ll love the way it cuts through a wall of sound while staying tight and articulate even at high gain. With an alder Strat, your licks will sing out with unmistakable clarity.
Contributing further to this Strat’s lively, resonant tone is its premium rift-sawn maple neck with round-laminated fingerboard. This dense yet lightweight neck imparts an unmistakable midrange focus and bell-like sustain to every note you play. The narrow tall frets, bone nut and vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge allow you to bend and manipulate the strings with the utmost expression. You’ll feel instantly at home on this neck whether you’re a vintage tone purist or just appreciate outstanding craftsmanship.
Of course, the real heart and soul of this ’69 Strat lies in its trio of hand-wound vintage-spec single-coil pickups. The bridge single-coil serves up authentic Strat quack and snarl for classic rock tones. Roll to the RWRP middle pickup for glassy, articulate funky tones. Then the RWRP ’69 neck single-coil delivers warm, buttery lead tones that will inspire you to channel your inner SRV. With these custom hand-wound pickups, you’re getting the full vintage Strat experience in all its dynamic glory.
