Overview

The return of Flower Power.

Bring a touch of late '60s psychedelia to the fore, this limited-edition '68 Paisley Strat relic summons up the era of bell-bottoms, love-ins and freak outs with more than just a little vintage-cool vibe. With a classic paisley finish on a 2-piece alder body and a rift-sawn maple neck, it's totally a classic. Loaded with hand-wound Custom Shop versions of the Texas Special, Fat '50s and '69 Strat single-coils, it's got all the tonal voodoo you could possibly want. Includes strap, deluxe hardshell case and certificate of authenticity.
