Custom Strat-Style Guitar – Metallic Blue, Gibson Scale Rosewood Neck, Jeff Beck Humbucker

Includes EU shipping in ABS hard case

A unique Strat-style instrument blending Fender DNA with Gibson-style playability. This custom build features a carefully selected combination of high-quality parts and expert luthiery, resulting in a guitar with striking tone, refined feel, and exceptional balance.

Specifications:

• Body: Fender Stratocaster (exact series unknown)

• Neck: Takoma rosewood neck, handcrafted to Gibson scale (629mm) with a 43mm nut width — smoother tension and easier bends, with a subtly warmer tonal response

• Pickup: Fender Jeff Beck Artist Series humbucker — dynamic and powerful, with excellent articulation

• Tuners: Kluson 

• Luthiery: Custom build by Berlin Guitars – a respected boutique shop (documentation not available, but build quality is evident in every detail)

Playability & Feel:

The shorter scale gives this Strat-style instrument a distinctive feel — easier fretting, softer string tension, and a slightly warmer tone profile. This is especially attractive for players focused on blues, jazz, or expressive lead work. You get the ergonomics of a Strat with the feel and response of a Gibson.

Condition:

• Excellent overall

• One small chip in the finish (approx. 7mm x 5mm) and a minor surface scratch (~8mm)

• Frets are clean, and the guitar plays evenly and buzz-free across the neck

• Note: Back plate is missing — optional replacement available (black or white). Many players prefer open access for tremolo adjustments.

Includes:

• ABS hard case with soft plush interior

• Free insured EU shipping

This is not a parts-caster—it’s a thoughtfully assembled, luthier-built guitar with tonal and tactile elegance. Ideal for discerning players seeking something personal, musical, and just slightly outside the ordinary.
