As part of a collection liquidation we have a very special treat to offer you today. Here, when you open the case, you immediately understand why the instruments of Vincent van Trigt, masterbuilder par excellence, are so sought after. It's simply wonderful what Vincent has conjured up with this Stratocaster. The fabulous finish in yellowed “Olympic White” with countless hairline cracks, major and minor blemishes, considerable paint abrasion and artificially “dirty” areas gives the guitar a phenomenal vintage patina. Finished with reliced, gold-colored tuners, extremely aged plastic parts and the deep dark rosewood fingerboard, the result is a unique look, whereby the sound and playability of this Stratocaster are also at the very highest level. The beautiful AA flamed neck lies in the hand as if it had been played for 30 years and this Heavy Relic Strat also resonates as if it had been on the road for just as long. The “60 Style Oval C” neck profile, the proven 9.5'' fretboard radius and the fast Vintage Upgrade frets ensure the very best playability. In terms of sound, Vincent uses “Handwound Fat 50's” pickups for earthy, expressive sounds, ideal for the perfect Blues sound. Lots of smack, extremely bell-like and warm with a great attack. You are immediately reminded of the typical John Mayer sounds. Every facet of this Strat is truly top class and we would like to congratulate the future owner on this fantastic collector's item. Vincent has now left the Fender Custom Shop, which is why his guitars are becoming increasingly rare and are currently among the most sought-after masterbuilds. For this reason, certainly the very best value retention is guaranteed here. It doesn't get any better than this!
