Here for sale we have a Vintage Thomas Blug Partscaster in Distressed Vintage White finish. Made in Indonesia in 2015, this guitar features a bolt-on construction comprising an American Alder body, Hard Rock Maple neck and 21 Medium Jumbo fret Rosewood fingerboard. This guitar is equipped with a Vintage Style Six-Point Tremolo bridge and a set of Wilkinson WJ55 patented E-Z-Lok tuning machines. A single ToneRider ‘Brimingham’ humbucker is installed which is wired to master volume with push/pull coil-split and a Master tone control.
The Gloss Maple neck plays very well, with the Vintage Soft ‘C’ profile sitting very comfortably in the hand and promotes ergonomic hand positioning, feeling smooth whilst providing an articulate playing experience. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers and offers a tactile and durable playing surface. The 7.25" radius delivers a suitably vintage-inspired playing experience whilst retaining practicality for lead lines and string bending, further enhanced by the Medium 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 single ToneRider ‘Birmingham’ humbucker installed in this guitar delivers a raw and throaty tone, with a warm low end and driving midrange that is complimented well by crisp and cutting highs. When turning the tone control down the pickup produces a roundness not dissimilar to a neck pickup which is perfect for solo tones, whilst adjusting the tone control up the brightness of the pickup will put your rhythm playing front and centre in the mix. The pickup is fantastic for pushing the front end of an amplifier, whilst offering excellent dynamic control. The simple control layout is not intrusive to the playing experience and offers comprehensive control of your tone. The push/pull coil split feature allows the player to access single-coil tones making this guitar a well rounded instrument, covering a lot of tonal posabilities.
