The pinnacle of Japanese-made guitars, the Vanzandt Neo Vintage STV-R2 3TS stratocaster, a relic model said to surpass even vintage guitars. Vanzandt's signature bright, shimmering highs and punchy, core-filled mid-lows. This guitar delivers a glossy clean sound, a "galling!" sound when slightly distorted, and a wonderfully pleasing acoustic tone. The frets have no major indentations and retain over 80% of their life, and the truss rod is barely tightened, ensuring it will provide years of enjoyment in excellent condition. Body Material: Alder Body Finish: All Nitrocellulose Lacquer Weight: 3.45kg (measured on a home scale) Neck: Maple Scale Length: Long Scale (648mm) Fingerboard Material: Madagascar Rosewood Fingerboard Radius: 210R Frets: 22 Nut: Oiled Finished Bone Nut Width: 42mm Pickups: Front & Rear: True Vintage Center: Blues Accessories: Gig bag, tremolo arm The following is data from the time of purchase: Made in 2016, this guitar features the rare Madagascar rosewood for the fingerboard, a high-grade material with a slab-board construction. This wood, also known as "New Jacaranda," is hard and provides excellent response and a wonderful tone. Due to the very thin and delicate lacquer finish, and being a relic model, the body has dents, scratches, and exposed wood in some areas. It will be packed in the case shown in the photos and shipped in a guitar-specific cardboard box. The guitar stand is not included. For the prevention of any issues, we ask for a no-return, no-cancellation transaction.
