Up for sale is a Fender Robert Cray signature Strat body, loaded with Klein and Duncan pickups. String saddles have been upgraded to Japanese-made Raw Vintage brand saddles (huge improvement over stock saddles, both in tone and function).

Klein 55 Epic series pickups are very high-end American-made pickups that have a full dynamic tone with more warmth and clarity than other lower-end pickups.

The Duncan pickup in the middle is an SSL-1, which is a classic single coil tone, selected for this guitar because it has reverse wind and polarity to the Klein pickups, providing hum-cancelling 2 & 4 positions.

Includes chrome neck plate and stainless steel mounting screws. Also includes parchment pickguard, parchment pickup covers, and knob set that came with the Klein loaded pickguard harness I installed on this body.

I modified the Klein harness to have a tortoise pickguard, black pickup covers and a Duncan SSL-1 pickup in the middle (allows for hum-canceling 2 & 4 positions). On the bridge pickup, I have installed a steel base plate, which is a popular mod in my shop for a fuller, slightly higher output bridge pickup tone. Volume pot features a treble bleed circuit (hard to see in photos because it’s tucked under the tone capacitor near the selector switch).

I have installed a push-pull pot for the 2nd tone that when pulled up adds a series option for the neck and middle pickup when the middle position is selected on the selector switch (hum-cancelling). This is a popular mod out of my repair shop. When this knob is pulled up, this wiring mod also has all 3 pickups engaged in the 2 position of the selector switch (neck/bridge in series, with bridge in parallel). When the tone switch is down, all pickup positions act as normal for a strat 5-way selector switch.

Loaded Body Weight is medium, not heavy. With a typical Strat style neck this body should yield about a 7 1/2 pound guitar.

Condition is excellent, with only some very subtle finish scuffs (see pictures).

Will ship USPS Priority mail in a well-packaged and sealed box.
