DESCRIPTION
1969 Stratocaster HSS Heavy Relic Flame Maple Neck Fat Head Olympic White
Hendrix, Blackmore, Trower! Among the trio of legendary six-string warlords, the ’69-style “fat” headstock reigns supreme; the freakstock synonymous with Purple Haze, Smoke on The Water and The Day of The Eagle. Blaze with the ’69 Stratocaster C carve in hand. The .790-.930 neck with a little more meat on the sides (but not nearly as big as the Nocaster U) fits like a glove as you rock to the heights tonight. The ’69 Strat pickups mean more growl for the howl than any 50s-or-60s single-coil FCS predecessor. The Seymour Duncan Antiquity Humbucker in the bridge position takes you over the cliff; benchmark FCS woody tonality on fire! Go beyond the Bridge of Sighs! Rip the roof off the Red House over yonder! Burn! C you Carve it Up!
