Fender FSR Roasted Ash - Wildwood Stratocaster Natural Thin Skin Finish - 2017

Description

This is the first Thin Skin to sport a 100% satin finish instead of the typical gloss. It also marks the first time Wildwood has ever done a Thin Skin with a roasted body AND a roasted maple neck. Of course, all new things come from old, so there are a few key reference points for the Roasted Ash Strat. The coolest part of using roasted tonewoods is the way they impart a bit of vintage-style resonance the guitar's overall timbre. When a guitar lives a long life, its wood dries out, and drier wood gives you a warmer, more focused, clearer tonality that we Guitar Scribes often term "woody" for lack of a better term. Furthermore, the roasted neck acts like a wooden tuning fork, giving the guitar extra-clear ringing sustain. Upgraded with Don Mare Formvar 50’s pickups per his rec for most authentic pickups.
