Flame Maple Pentacaster

I was going for a full on blues machine, SRV and Mayer tones, hopelessly stuck in the Pentatonic Box for this one. Hence it's namesake

How does it play? Looks like a great gig guitar.

It plays amazing, strung up with 10s. SS frets are smooth as glass, satin nitro is very comfortable. Just solid all around. Love the blender configuration to dial in the right sounds. I play through a quad cortex so I have tons of presets that are edge of breakup, Klon, Plexi etc. Percect guitar for that sound. It is the most Stratty sounding Strat I own.

Red and maple, that’s my kind of axe.
