For any discerning player looking for a top-tier Strat-style guitar, this is the one.

Mr. Grosh has done it again. We asked for a '60s-inspired Strat-style guitar, and that’s exactly what we got—only better. This Sherwood Green NOS Retro model looks and feels like a mid-60s Stratocaster, but with a more refined touch. The medium neck carve paired with a 10" radius offers a modern, ultra-comfortable playing experience.

This guitar is loud and snappy, with tons of sustain—a signature trait of every Grosh we’ve played. Plugged in, it proves to be incredibly versatile, thanks to a clever blend control and bridge pickup base plate (inspired by Telecaster bridge pickup construction). Forget thin bridge pickup tones—this guitar delivers fat, stinging, beautifully compressed tones, while still serving up all the classic Strat cluck and chime you crave in the other positions.

As for playability and setup? It doesn’t get better than this. The fret work is impeccable, making it absolutely effortless to play.
