Price Dropped FS: Rocketfire Monterey Custom Strat

AlexHunter

I tried but despite my New Year’s Resolution, I’m just not a Strat player.

Therefore, for sale we have a custom one off build Monterey Strat from Nick at Rocketfire guitars. In landing on this, I went through Fender Custom Shop, K Line, Anderson, Suhr et al and this sounded the best. It’s the strattiest sounding Strat thing since Lord Jimi of Stratfordshire played upon Straturday.

For those not familiar with Rocketfire, this is not a parts guitar. All wood parts were hand carved by Nick Sorensen in Missouri USA, then wired up with his own handwound pickups. This particular guitar has an alder body, maple neck with a medium C profile, rosewood board with 9.5” radius and what feels like 6105 frets.

The paint job was done by Bob Bond, famous spray artist that’s done Billy Gibbons’ car and guitar collection.
Comes with a tweed G&G case.

Any questions ask away. collection from Tetbury or can meet within a reasonable distance.
£1000

Worth it for the pickups alone. Best strat pups out there.

If I was near Tetbury, I'd be sorely tempted.

hey @AlexHunter sadly this one isn't for me as I already have a Monterey and mine suits me a little better than this one with the neck I prefer and a few tweaks, annoying as I'd love to take it, so probably your easiest sale ever on this one....won't be that easy this time, at that price it is still tempting though.

AlexHunter

Up up. Won’t find a better strat for the money.

Price drop. Can bring it to the Brum show next week as well.

Great looking guitar, was the whole body refinished or just  the artwork?

Just the artwork as far as I’m aware.
