A classic vehicle with some real horsepower

Ultra-comfortable neck
The Vintage Hot Rod '57 Strat's one-piece maple neck has that comfortable broken-in feeling, thanks to its slimmed and softened "V" shape. A flatter fingerboard radius and medium jumbo frets also contribute to the easy playability of this instrument, which also comes with a vintage tweed case.
