I know what you’re thinking, “Spruce? On an electric solid body? Isn’t than an acoustic guitar wood?” While most people are accustomed to seeing spruce only on an acoustic, Fender Custom Shop guru Dennis Galuszka decided to prove just how awesome a tone wood spruce can be for an electric guitar as well. And this ’56 NOS Master Built Strat does NOT disappoint! The spruce body imparts a lighter weight, a subtly beautiful wood grain and, not surprisingly, a more “acoustic” resonance to the guitar with excellent sustain. And the addition of a soft “V” all-maple neck makes this guitar easy to handle (even for smaller hands) while playing fairly fast and smooth.

While my initial thought regarding pairing a spruce top with a maple neck / fretboard was that this was going to be one bright sounding guitar, I was very surprised at the warmth and richness of the tone she puts out. The use of Fat 50’s pickups adds a nice depth and fullness to the tone that really works. The neck position was very full and warm with excellent clarity, and position 4 put out a nice jazzy clean with awesome blues tone when driven. The middle position proved very clear and vocal on clean settings with a powerful overdriven voice. Position 2 gave up a tele-like spank with a Steely Dan sounding overdriven tone, while the bridge position was where the spruce / maple combination really kicked in with bright, stinging tones.

So there you have it, another guitar stereotype broken down by the masters of lutherie at the Fender Custom Shop. Spruce – the other tone wood.

Our price includes personalized set up, hardshell case, and free shipping to the continental United States.
