We’ve been longtime fans of the Custom Shop’s late ‘60s models, and while the inevitable Hendrix connection is undeniable (let's be real, Hendrix is a big reason many of us even picked up a guitar), what truly hooks us is how these guitars feel in hand.

What really sets this 1968 Stratocaster apart is the U-shaped neck carve. With a depth of .85-.91", it’s substantial, yet offers a slightly narrower feel, making it incredibly comfortable for a wide range of playing styles. Whether you're into bluesier playing or more adventurous explorations, this neck delivers a perfect balance of depth and ease of play.

Another note regarding the feel of the neck...Though it's a late ‘60s model, the finish is reminiscent of a ‘50s Strat—no thick, glossy coating to slow you down here. It feels nicely broken-in, offering an instantly comfortable playing experience.

Each pickup position on this 1968 Stratocaster has been carefully optimized: a ‘69 in the neck, a Fat 50s in the middle, and a Tex Special in the bridge. This setup delivers a fuller bridge tone, lightly compressed 2 and 4 positions, and a scooped midrange neck position for perfect tonal balance. We’re hooked!
