FENDER Limited Edition George Harrison Rocky Strat
Limited Custom Shop replica of the George Harrison Rocky Strat - masterbuilt by Paul Waller
With the
Fender Limited Edition George Harrison Rocky Strat
, Fender masterbuilder
Paul Waller
has recreated a truly impressive piece of music history. The Stratocaster of the
'silent Beatle'
, which can be heard for the first time on the 1965 album Help!, represents its
hand-painted
state of the Sgt. Peppers era and shows lovingly recreated optical details. The sound of the George Harrison Rocky Strat is equally impressive, with
three '60s Strat single coils hand-wound by Fender pickup icon Abigail Ybarra
. Of course the Limited Edition Rocky Strat, a genuine masterbuilt instrument from the Fender Custom Shop, comes including a
certificate of authenticity
and
Fender Deluxe Hardshell case
.
With the Fender Limited Edition George Harrison Rocky Strat, master builder Paul Waller has recreated a remarkable piece of music history.
Three '60s Strat Single Coils handwound by pickup-icon Abigail Ybarra provide proper sixties sounds.
'60s Strat Single Coils – handwound by Abigail Ybarra
The Fender Limited Edition George Harrison Rocky Strat uses
three '60s Stratocaster single coils hand wound
by none other than
Abigail Ybarra
. The legendary pickup icon looks back on over 50 years of pickup winding experience and is responsible for the most sought-after pickups in Fender history to this day. The result is a carefully tuned set with extremely good dynamic response and sonic assertiveness. The classic Strat circuit with a
5-way switch
and traditional
Vol-Tone-Tone layout
elicits the astonishingly broad sound palette of the coveted sixties Strat from all three single coils, from brilliant bridge sounds to soft intermediate positions to the warm sound of the neck pickup.
On the back, the George Harrison Rocky Strat presents authentic playing marks and the original Sonic Blue finish of the original.
Alder body & 5A flame maple neck
Paul Waller followed the original specifications of the
classic sixties Stratocaster
to develop the Rocky Strat and composed the
body from two parts of selected alder
. The
back of the body is lacquered in the original Sonic Blue finish
and has the same
play marks
and
lacquer wear
as the original. For the
neck
, which is attached via the classic
4-point bolt-on connection
, high-quality
flamed maple body in AAAAA quality
with an intensely figured flame is used. Its
"Asymmetrical 1960 Oval-C" neck profile
, rarely seen on 1960s Strat models, creates authentic Strat feeling in all positions. Further highlights of the Rocky Strat include its
rosewood fretboard
in classic
7.25" radius
with
21 vintage frets
and
artificially aged dot inlays made of Micarta
.
Geroge Harrison's Psychedelic Dayglo finish from the late sixties has been recreated down to the last detail.
Authentic details
In terms of looks, the Limited Edition George Harrison Rocky Strat built by Paul Waller features all the details of the prototype with the serial number 83840 as well. Thus, on the back of the headstock there is a
sticker of the London music store Grimwoods
with original wear, testifying the origin of the Rocky Strat. The
Psychedelic Dayglo finish
, painted by George in 1967 after the Sgt. Pepper Sessions, is modeled in all its facets, including the
"Bebopalula" lettering from 1969
, the colorful
"Go Cat Go" pickguard
and the
"Rocky" lettering
on the headstock, and has been applied to the original Sonic Blue lacquer, just like the original.
