A Beautiful Strat!

I really love the looks of this Strat and it plays so smoothly up and down the neck. The wood grain shows through even more than you can tell from the pictures. And I love the retro pickguard and tuners.

A Beautiful Strat!

By Robert J.

I really love the looks of this Strat and it plays so smoothly up and down the neck. The wood grain shows through even more than you can tell from the pictures. And I love the retro pickguard and tuners.

Over the years, Kenny Wayne Shepherd's incendiary solos, robust rhythms, and dynamic performances have not only defined his illustrious career but have also shaped the sound of modern blues. The Artist Series Kenny Wayne Shepherd Stratocaster Electric Guitar is a testament to this legacy, offering both fans and discerning guitarists a chance to experience the same vibrant and resonant tone that Kenny is known for.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this Stratocaster boasts a chambered ash body that ensures a rich, full-bodied sound with exceptional clarity. The Transparent Faded Sonic Blue lacquer finish is not just visually stunning, but it also serves to enhance the natural beauty of the ash grain, creating a stylish and high-quality instrument that stands out on any stage.

The guitar's neck is shaped in the early '60s inspired "C" profile, constructed from maple and paired with a bound rosewood fingerboard. This combination provides a smooth and comfortable playing experience, with a 7.25" radius that harkens back to the golden age of Fender's craftsmanship. The retro pickguard and tuners add a touch of vintage charm, while the durability and reliability of the construction ensure that this guitar will be a mainstay in any musician's arsenal for years to come.

Equipped with three Kenny Wayne Shepherd custom pickups, this Stratocaster delivers a sonic palette that ranges from punchy, full-throated Strat tones to the nuanced articulations required for soulful blues solos. Whether you're a fan of Kenny Wayne Shepherd's innovative guitar work or simply seeking a high-quality, reliable electric guitar, the Artist Series Kenny Wayne Shepherd Stratocaster is an exceptional choice that embodies the spirit of one of blues' most respected guitarists.
