Austin Macnutt’s work here is undeniable – this Strat is a beautiful, resonant instrument. The HSS setup gives it a wider tonal palette than a traditional Strat, and the relic'd look nails that worn-in vibe. This is perfect for players who want a premium-priced, versatile Strat with a unique voice and a real connection to its craftsmanship.
