Custom Strat – Silver Sparkle

Description

Like chunky necks? Here’s a nice 50’s style Musikraft USA neck mounted on a body I bought back in the 90’s and kept in the box until Martin built this guitar recently. It’s a Mighty Mite body with a super nice factory silver flake finish, with some gold accents. Looks great under spot lighting. Neck was a new Musikraft. Based in Pennsylvania, they build some of the finest replacement parts in USA and we’ve been using their necks almost exclusively for the past few years. The neck has a vintage logo installed with many coats of nitro finish on the headstock so there are no visible lines on the edge of the vintage logo. It’s a substantial girth, recommended for players who like the feel of a ’58 rounded neck. We have also installed an Earvana nut for improved intonation and vintage style Ping tuners. For electronics we used pickups out of an American Fat Strat with a Fender Atomic humbucker and a pair of American Standard single coils wired to a new USA 5-way switch and new CTS pots. Electronics cavity has shielding paint to cut down on hum and is routed HSH should you ever wish to change the layout. We also used a custom Fender Limited Edition neckplate. Set up is superb and the tone and liveliness is what you want in a Strat. The 5-way is wired to sound like a tradition Strat in 4 positions, with a straight humbucker tone in the 5^th. For a custom made Strat that’s well-thought out and professionally built, it’s a sweet deal at $750 with hardshell case.
