Price: 255.00 GBP
Availability: InStock

The “63 Sonic Tribute” set takes its inspiration from a close friend’s wonderful 1963 Original Refin Sonic Blue Strat. It’s a glorious instrument that exemplifies the joys that vintage instruments can sometimes offer, even when the understandable hype is kept in check! The guitars electronics are all original, including the 3way switch and those glorious pre-CBS pickups.

I loved the tone of this Strat right away and having spent time with it getting to know it’s nuances, taking readings and other details from the pickups and testing prototype winds; I now feel confident to offer this set. It will come as no surprise that these are classic 60s Strat pickups through and through. With the mix of period-correct Heavy Formvar Wire, Alnico 2 and 5 poles and hand/scatter wound coils, these pickups offer the huge tonal range and punchy character present in that lust-worthy Sonic Refin.
