This '55 Stratocaster spec'd out by the Sherwood team is a masterclass in vintage swagger, cloaked in a stunning, subtly aged Vintage Blonde nitro finish that lets the premium two-piece select ash body breathe and resonate like a bell. Hot dog! But the real visual showstopper is the neck. Don't stare too long! A gorgeous piece of AA Birdseye maple carved into that legendary, chunky 10/56 "V" profile. It’s got all the retro charm of a classic mid-century hot rod, built to be played hard.

While the looks will turn heads, the real magic happens when you plug it in and let the hand-wound pickups do the talking. Wired up by the legendary Master Pickup Winder Josefina Campos herself, these '50s Strat single-coils are the absolute heart and soul of the guitar. They delivery that holy-grail Fender chime: crisp, glassy highs, punchy mids, and a warm, woody low end that responds beautifully to every nuance of your pick attack. Even better, the middle pickup is reverse-wound, meaning when you click into positions 2 or 4 on the 5-way switch, you get all that glorious, addictive "quack" completely hum-free. Wowowow! 

Rounding out this masterpiece is a hardware lineup of a vintage purist's dream. We've got an American Vintage tremolo that's just waiting for some classic, expressive pitch-bends. By pairing a traditional 7.25” fingerboard radius with some meatier Medium Jumbo frets, this neck offers the ultimate "best of both worlds" experience, giving you that authentic mid-century grip for chugging chords, while ensuring your blues bends never fret out. Arriving with a deluxe hardshell case and its official Certificate of Authenticity, this Strat has a story to tell, and some songs to write!
