The Strat Pro was designed with the professional player in mind and is intended to be a workhorse guitar, as its features and looks represent the most requested modifications that the Custom Shop has offered over the past 20 years. Every feature on this guitar is unique in its own right, and has been proven on other models, both for “Weekend Warriors” and signature artists. Many of these features have only been offered on artist’s personal instruments; but they’ve never been offered together on one guitar – until now!
The New Strat Pro model is intended for the professional player. Just as a baseball glove bought in a sporting goods store is significantly different than the gloves the actual major league players use, so then is the difference here on this instrument compared to a stock instrument. It is truly a step up, and is unique in every way!
