The ’56 Stratocaster Closet Classic guitar incorporates many unique details from one of the most sought-after and collectable Strats ever made. It features a 10/56 neck, two-piece alder body and single-ply pickguard. They’ve even recreated tooling holes and marks made during the original production process!
This guitar features the “Relic” treatment … built as if it was bought new in its respective model year then played heavily for a few decades, with the appropriate wear to the finish and hardware plating … a vintage feel & sound without the vintage price tag!
