Our Stratatone has been stripped of unnecessary features so you can quickly do what has to be done, sans encumbrance. Don't let the shockingly light weight and cute colors fool you into thinking this is a toy--she's a beast under the hood. Comes with hardshell case. Please watch the video for detailed description and audio examples (Guitar to Peterson tuner to ZT Jazz Club set flat, XLR direct output to Focusrite Clarett 8Pre, no tainting of audio). the pros Extremely lightweight: Average weight is 5 lbs or less! Very simple to use. It has a three-way switch because it has three pickups. You have one master volume knob, followed by a master tone knob. That’s all you need to start playing. Blender knob for dialing in some or all of the neck pickup when you're in the bridge position, and vice-versa. In-phase and hum-free, this opens up tonal options beyond your average triple pickup guitar. Bespoke treble bleed, so you can give less output when needed without altering your tone. Our preferred Tone capacitor only shaves off the highest of the high end, for when a more vintage / less modern sound is preferred. You can dial it in quickly and accurately without compromising your signal. Puretone output jack has dual tension grounds and dual positive tips. This increased surface area ensures a sturdy and secure cable connection to the guitar. Slightly hotter, overwound pickups. (Neck: 11k, Middle: 10.2k, Bridge: 12k) Maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard and Bone Nut (25-1/2" scale, 22 frets, 4049 vintage jumbo fretwire, 12" radius, Nut width: 1-11/16" Profile shape: Modern 'C') Hot Potentiometers to reveal more of the pickups’ frequency range. Vintage-style 6 inline tuning pegs. Lightweight body with tummy cut. Baby blue, thin, nitro-cellulose lacquer, with finish checking. Thin, matte, white pickguard. Hardtail, string-through, bridge. Nickel 'un-shined' hardware. Weight: 5.12 lbs / 2.32 kg.
