Up for sale, a circa 2020 Custom-Built HH Strat-style guitar in near-mint condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. With premium tonewoods and componentry utilized throughout, this Strat features a Bigsby B5 vibrato, Callaham bridge, and Kuwabara PAF-style humbuckers wired to a five-way "superswitch."
Tonewoods comprise an ash body and a heavily figured, bookmatched quilt maple top, paired with a birdseye maple neck and thick slab rosewood fretboard. The resulting tone is bold and broad, with excellent note attack and midrange heft. The Kuwabara 1959 PAF-style humbuckers were made by Sayoko Kuwabara, hand-wound and made to order, assembled with vintage-correct materials including the bobbins, baseplates, covers, slugs and keepers for optimal accuracy. The full-yet-articulate PAF sound has spongy, defined lows, growling trebles, and great midrange clarity. Additionally, the 5-way “superswitch” pickup selector coil taps the pickups for single coil sparkle and shimmer at positions 2 and 4. This guitar weighs 7lbs 13oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss nitro lacquer finish highlights the deep, three-dimensional figuring in the quilted maple top, and exhibits a subtle “closet classic”-style relic with light lacquer checking across the body and a few tiny nicks along the edges and perimeter. Beyond the synthesized wear, this guitar shows virtually no wear. The ambered gloss on the neck profile is immaculate.
An AE-brand red alligator teardrop hardshell case with red plush interior is included.
