DonGroshCustomGuitars is a high-end guitar brand that is produced in a small quantity at a workshop in Colorado, USA, but has received praise from guitarists around the world. It is handmade by DonGrosh, a highly popular builder who created guitars for many famous artists such as Larry Carlton and Steve Lukather while working at ValleyArts!

This time it's a Strat type that seems to be a custom product made in 2002, similar to RetroClassic and NOSRetro.

Since there is no spec sheet, we cannot make a definitive judgment about the wood material, so we can judge based on the appearance, but it is likely that the optional ash body, thickly shaped maple neck, and maple fingerboard will be used. The frets are 22F with an extended flange, and feature Kluson type pegs, a 2-point synchro type bridge, and a 1-ply pickguard.

It has a stylish look with coloring that takes advantage of the natural heathered grain, and orthodox parts and controls! The frets seem to be slightly larger medium jumbo.

The controls include 1Vol, 2Tone (front center, rear), and a tone that slightly changes the sound feel, similar to Blender. The pickup selector is a 5-point type, and this is the same control as a regular Strat. The details of the pickup are unknown, and since only the rear side is different, there is a possibility that it has been replaced.

Recommended for those looking for a mid-term Dongrosh Strat type! !

ESP soft gig case and arm are included.

This is a high-quality guitar that has a modern feel yet has just the right vintage feel! The thick neck grip has a slightly different nuance from the Fender, giving it an interesting playing feel. The attack and sparkle are well reproduced, and the 5-way, 22F is easy to use, so I guess it's close to Amesta in terms of texture. The natural color that looks a bit like Marie Kay's Strat is also rare, and this is a valuable item you can't miss!
