My #1 - Jason Smith Masterbuilt '63 Strat Relic

[JimClapton]

Hello! la
I'm new to the forum and I thought I would introduce myself by introducing my favourite guitar

It's a 2011 custom shop Masterbuilt relic that I traded a bunch of stuff for about 3 years ago.
I've always had a thing for beat up early 60s strats but can never really justify acquiring one at vintage prices.
So I see this as the closest I'm likely to get!

A few more pics...

Thanks a lot! I was playing about one day and took them myself with a Nikon D5200 using either a timer or a remote shutter release.

Thanks! I think Jason Smith did a terrific job with the relicing and the gorgeous 3 tone sunburst finish!

No way! lol :hee

Barely any masterbuilt lefties out there for us as it is! lol

The guitar is fabulous though, as it has the look and sound of what I think an old strat should be.

It has a round lam fingerboard, medium jumbo frets, a 10.5" neck radius and Abby handwound Custom '65 pickups :dude:
