Hi,

thats my first Masterbuild CS Strat, build in April 2012 by Jason Smith.

Jason tried to catch the vibe of the eightees and replicated a regular Strat which had gone several alterations like a Floyd Rose trem with locking saddle and a slant humbucker in the bridge position.

Body is one piece alder and the color is in natural much more faded like on the pictures. It's a three tone sunburst which faded to two tone and shows lots of playing wear.

The heavily reliced maple neck has a soft V shape and is very comfortable to play.

Pickup configuration is great (Seymour Duncan Jeff Beck on the Bridge, Fender Texas Special in the middle and Fender '69 in the neck position) and delivers all sounds you need to play to Blues and Classic Rock.

The only thing I altered was to install Schaller security locks for a quick change between guitars without changing the belt when I use my PRS Tremonti Signature for the heavier stuff I play.

It's a very resonant and wooden sounding Strat despite it hasn't been played intensiv yet, which shows the high craftsmenship of the Fender masterbuilder.

Fortunatly I was able to buy it right from the spot after I checked it out and didn't had to wait like some folks who order a guitar from Jason.

Best regards from Frankfurt/Germany
Pete
