The J.W. Black Founders Design Stratocaster gives the familiar Strat concept a distinctive look
A beautifully designed top does not have to overshadow the original character of a Stratocaster. That is precisely the appeal of the J.W. Black Founders Design Stratocaster. For the Fender Custom Shop's 30th anniversary in 2017, Black revisited his figured maple top designs. The 5A quilted maple top in Tobacco Burst, birdseye maple and gold-colored hardware give this model a distinctive appearance. Yet the foundation remains instantly recognizable: a thoughtfully designed electric instrument that combines classic Fender lines with the personal preferences of its designer.
Three Abby Hand-Wound Fat '50s single-coil pickups form the sonic centerpiece. The five-way switch allows you to move from the individual pickups to the characteristic in-between positions, accommodating both open chords and clear lead parts. The middle pickup is RWRP. A separate tone control for the bridge pickup helps to fine-tune that particular position for your amplifier and playing style. The Soft V neck profile gives the playing experience its own distinct character without abandoning the familiar Stratocaster foundation.
The ash body with a 5A quilted maple top is combined with a 5A birdseye maple neck and fretboard with a Soft V profile. The specifications include a 9.5-inch radius, 22 Jescar Evo Gold frets, a 25.5-inch scale length and a 1.650-inch white Micarta top nut. Abalone position markers, gold-colored hardware, an American Vintage Synchronized Tremolo with six saddles and vintage-style staggered tuners complete the guitar. Master volume, two tone controls and a five-way switch control the three Abby Hand-Wound Fat '50s single-coil pickups.
This trade-in instrument is in unplayed condition and is completely original. The original case, certificate and original delivery box are included; the guitar is supplied fully complete. For shipping or collection, the instrument will be inspected and, if necessary, played in by our technician.
For anyone looking for a recognizable Stratocaster with a special chapter from the Custom Shop's history.
