Blackbeard Guitars Custom Stratocaster - hand made in Italy

This is a specially commissioned, hand built strat style guitar from Blackbeard Guitars in Italy.

The body is a beautifully resonant and light, aged Paulownia with a stunningly figured flame maple neck.  

The hardware is all custom aged and the pickguard is a hand crafted piece of art! Absolutely stunning.

Pickups are Dreamsong custom wound pickups, also from Italy.

This was built to replicate the early fenders that have no truss rod, which is thought to allow the string vibrations to ‘connect’ and resonate more freely through the wood, into the body. Which in turn affects the tone in the pickups.  

This is a one of a kind, hand built masterpiece that would grace any collection or stage in the world.

The price offered here is half of what it would be new! So grab yourself a bargain, and a piece of pure craftsmanship.

Let’s face it, you could buy another run of the mill, boring, fender guitar for this money, but it won’t have nearly the same character or unique appeal than this.

Comes with a hiscox hard case and will be sent on fully covered next day delivery to mainland uk.  

If anyone wants to hear it in action or wants to discuss it, feel free to contact me and we can arrange a call to go over it.

I may be open to part exchanges / trades - specifically PRS or higher end Gibson guitars.
