Here for sale we have a Fender Lite Ash Stratocaster Electric Guitar from 2006 in Natural gloss finish. Made in Korea, this guitar was part of a special edition run from 2004-2008 that used lightweight Ash for the body of the instrument, with a 'V-shaped' Birdseye Maple neck and a Birdseye Maple fingerboard. Other appointments include a 2-point Synchronized Tremolo bridge, Die-Cast Block Saddles, Abalone Dot inlays, and a set of Seymour Duncan APS-1 Staggered single coil pickups. The pickups are wired to a master volume, neck tone, middle tone, and 5-way pickup selector.
The Satin Polyurethane-finish Birdseye Maple neck not only looks stunning, but it's 'V-shaped' profile feels incredibly ergonomic and comfortable. The 9.5" radius delivers a suitably vintage-inspired playing experience whilst retaining practicality for lead lines and string bending, further enhanced by the Medium Jumbo frets. The smooth lines of the Stratocaster body along with generous body contours are as comfortable and familiar as ever, ensuring that long gigs and practice sessions are a breeze.
The Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro Staggered APS-1 pickups provide the player with classic Stratocaster sound, which is fantastic for driving an amp. The bridge pickup sounds bright and glistening with plenty of spank. Power chords sound gritty, whilst also providing soaring lead tones. However, with subtler amp settings the bridge offers a bright, glassy clean tone. The middle pickup sits very comfortably with a nice balance of bright trebles and full warm bass, and lends itself well to rhythm tones. The neck pickup is smooth, with a beautiful warm, rounded tone that handles distorted tones masterfully. The standard Stratocaster controls offer comprehensive control of your tone all at the fingertips.
