Custom Certificate dated 20th April 2009

The guitar has been very well looked after, never gigged but has been played and cherished! Only a slight mark on the headstock by the E tuner worth noting, everything else is as expected for a well maintained 7 year old custom shop Strat. 

Minimal fret wear, neck relief 0.007" at the 7th & action height 5/64" Bass, 4/64" Treble, newly setup in the 12th Fret Workshop with 10's. Perfect intonation, saddle radius and 3/64" lift on the bridge. 

“Based on the Hank style strat. By far one of the most popular models. Usual '56 style spec but with a lovely NOS finish, AA Flame Maple neck and gold hardware. It’s like buying a new one from 1956! Featuring a two-piece alder body, '56 'C' neck profile but with a 9.5" radius & 6105 frets and '56 pickups”
