The Story:
I picked this one up because — let’s be honest — it looks absolutely wild in the best possible way. That Zebrawood top isn’t just for show either. It adds a bit of brightness to the tone that makes leads pop, especially with that Seymour Duncan Custom 5 in the bridge. The Stack Plus singles give you classic Stratty tones without the hum. It’s the kind of guitar you could bring to any session and cover every genre under the sun… but let’s be real, it shines when it’s pushed hard.
This one never left the house. I kept it in the case when not in use, wiped it down after every play, and had it set up by my local tech. It’s clean. It’s rare. It’s ready to go.
