This guitar is a commission sale. If you have a high-end or vintage instrument you’re interested in selling, please contact us.
Here for sale we have a Chandler Custom S Style electric guitar in White. This guitar features a bolt-on construction consisting of what we believe to be a Maple body due to the weight, Maple neck and 22 fret Ebony fingerboard. Other appointments include Sperzel locking tuning machines and a Wilkinson VS100CV conversion kit tremolo arm. Two singlecoil pickups are paired with a Humbucker in the bridge. These are wired to a 5-Position Blade switch, Master Volume, Neck tone and Bridge Tone.
The Maple neck plays very well, with a ‘C’ profile filling the hand nicely for a smooth and responsive playing experience across the register. Moderately-sized, the neck feels practical for both chordal and melodic playing styles and provides easy reach for those tricky chord voicings and big stretches. The Ebony fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers and makes for a durable playing surface which will surely stand the test of time. The smooth lines and generous cutaways of the Stratocaster body are as comfortable in the arms as ever whilst providing unrestricted access to the upper frets.
The pair of singlecoil pickups deliver a vintage-inspired tone that works well for a wide range of genres and playing styles, with plenty of warmth and power from the neck pickup, perfect for lead and solo tones. The middle pickup produces a smooth but spanky and bright midrange response which is great for funky Strat sounds. The humbucker in the bridge is brighter still, and thanks to its high output can handle a serious amount of gain for a saturated rock rhythm tone. The Middle pickup on this model is “wide-open” meaning that the tone knobs do not affect this pickup meaning it's always ready for you to switch to it and cut through the mix.
