Description
Fender's Kenny Wayne Shepherd Stratocaster exemplifies the bold blues-rock tone that is synonymous with Kenny Wayne Shepherd's sound and playing style. Based off of Shepherd's original 1961 Fender Strat, this signature model features a chambered ash body that gives it a lightweight in-hand feel, and a vibrant, resonant tone. The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Strat's Transparent Faded Sonic Blue lacquer finish does an incredible job showing off the ash grain. Its early '60s inspired "C" shaped maple neck, and bound rosewood fingerboard with a 7.25" radius both contribute to top of the line in-hand feel across all 21 Jumbo frets. This Stratocaster also features a set of three Custom-Voiced Kenny Wayne Shepherd single-coil pickups, designed to dish out a soulful sound that's dynamically responsive to your picking attack. The middle pickup is even reverse-wound/reverse-polarity for even more tonal versatility! Plus, the guitar's block inlays, Transparent Faded Sonic Blue matching headstock (with signature), and 4-ply White Pearloid pickguard give the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Strat a non-traditional aesthetic that will immediately catch your eye. With head-turning looks, an incredible set of pickups, and several period-accurate specs, the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Stratocaster is one of Fender's finest signature models.
