Up for sale, a 2023 Fender Sham Kamikaze Signature Stratocaster in like-new condition. A long-time fixture of the Malaysia rock scene, Sham Kamikaze is one of Southeast Asia’s most preeminent guitarists, best known for his time as the lead guitarist in Kamikaze. This rare “Made in Japan” signature Strat was produced in very limited quantities, with premium, distinctive touches including a reverse headstock, 12th fret lightning bolt inlay, two-point vibrato, satin-finished “Modern C” neck profile with 9 1/2“ fretboard radius, and gloss Arctic White finish accented by a three-ply mint green pickguard.
Tonewoods include an alder body, maple neck, and slab rosewood fretboard, and this Strat weighs 7lbs 11oz. The trio of Vintage-Style single coil pickups deliver quintessential Strat tonalities, with sparkling cut at the bridge, woody chop and fullness at the neck, and hollow quack at the “in-between” positions on the five-way pickup selector switch. This Kamikaze Signature Strat has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
