This is a guitar that you'll be seeing more of in the future so I thought it only fitting to post a little video about it for future reference. The guitar was spec'd and built by a talented friend, Jim Mac, from Australia. Jim does not build commercially or by request. However I don't think he'd have any trouble gaining employment with the Fender Custom Shop, such is his attention to detail.
Specs:
Project build based on a transition (1964~1965) period Fender Stratocaster.
Body: Alder
Finish: Aged Ice-blue Metallic - custom order done by Monster Relic via Pro Guitar Shop (Get in touch with Steven Brown to order one like it)
Neck: '65 bound rosewood fretboard with maple neck. 7.25" radius. 60's 'C' shape.
Tuners: Kluson White Button Nickel Plated.
Bridge: Fender USA 'Pure Vintage' tremolo with full steel block.
Pickups: Slider's Pickups '59 SRV set.
Electronics: Vintage spec CRL switch + CTS pots. Cloth wired. 0.1mfd vintage repro PIO capacitor.
The amp used in this video is a '63 Vibrolux and matching 1x12 cab built and tweaked in Fractal Audio's Axe-FX II XL+ with Firmware 3.03. During the video you will hear an 808, stereo analog delay, compressor and medium hall reverb, all from the Axe-FX. Limiting courtesy of Waves L3-16 was used in the final Pro Tools HD 12.4 master. I bounced the track at 16/48 and Final Cut Pro did the final HD render of video and audio. We're at the mercy of Youtube after that.
