Well, here's a weird one!
Chris Manus at Amelia Island Fine guitars had a couple of these made. I always kind of wanted to get a lefty strat and string it right to have kind of a Hendrix style guitar (for rightys) Well this is kind of like that! Its got a lefty neck and a lefty BRIDGE -- and lefty trem... I just thought it was cool!
Lollar Blackface pups in it-- I like them. Not as bloomy (or hendrixy for that matter) as my other strat--- more Layla/Life in the Fast lane/SRV kind of mid range aggressive-- which is cool!
seems like a lot of good pro players (john osborne, ford thurston, vince gill) dig these Mario guitars so I thought I'd give it a whirl-- for much cheaper than a fender custom shop and much better I really think its great.
Really nice relic job too I think
super light! 6lbs 110z (is that light for a strat?)
beautiful roasted flame maple neck
