Inspiration
This is my version of the ultimate vintage Stratocaster. Of course I had to fix, where it needed fixing. Winder neck at the nut and at the heel, a tremolo system that actually works and stays in tune, pickups, which are balanced in volume, a much stronger and more stable neck joint, the Spike neck anchoring and tilt adjustment, shaped heel, 24 Stainless Steel frets, etc. Nothing more needs to be said. I kept the body shape and all dimensions exactly the same as a vintage Stratocaster.
Everything great about a Strat without the bad.
This is why anyone buying a traditional or ordinary Strat or the countless boutique clones, is usually not a player and they are not buying it for reasons of performance but for different reasons. I am not saying those cannot be played. Just like a Trabant will get you from point A to B.
For the rest of you, there is this guitar or one like it.
