Stratocaster-Style Alder Body, 3-Tone Sunburst and Satin Nitro Finish
This Stratocaster-style guitar body combines the elegance of 3-Tone Sunburst with a satin nitrocellulose finish, for a subtle, authentic vintage look.
Made from alder, a wood traditionally used for Stratocaster-style guitars, it features a standard thickness of approximately 45 mm and SSS routing for three single-coil pickups.
Its satin finish, smooth to the touch and low-reflective, offers an appealing alternative to traditional gloss finishes while retaining the charm of vintage instruments.
Ideal for a build project, restoration or the creation of a custom Stratocaster.

A satin nitro finish with vintage character
Nitrocellulose lacquer is valued for its thinness and natural ageing over the years. Here, its satin finish softens reflections and gives the 3-Tone Sunburst a more understated appearance, close to that of an already aged instrument.
Over time and with use, slight marks or glossy areas may appear, contributing to the unique character of each guitar.
Assembly advice
This body is designed to accept a neck with traditional Stratocaster dimensions. Depending on the manufacturing tolerances of the neck used, slight adjustment may be necessary for a precise fit.
