SOLD Lipe Guitars Virtuoso - All Koa HSS Strat
As we're all still in the EU (I'm in Germany)
, I dare to offer this great, extremely rare guitar here with no customs and import duties, so far:
Up for sale is a very unique and top boutique guitar from the late Mike Lipe:
The Virtuoso is his ergonomically enhanced version of a Stratocaster. As
probably some here know, Mike Lipe has built exceptional high quality
guitars preferably made of hawaiian wood.
My guitar is completely built from figured KOA, 1 piece each for body, neck, and fretboard.
Soundwise it’s very stratty, but appears more balanced with lots of harmonic overtones (great for controlled feedback).
Specs are:
-
Built in: 2011
-
Body: 1pc figured Koa
-
Neck: 1pc Koa
-
Fretboard: Koa
- Nut width: 1 11/16" (4,28 cm)
- Tuners: Sperzel locking
-
Bridge: Wilkinson tremolo
-
Pickups: Jim Wagner single coils, Duncan JB humbucker
- Tone push/pull to split the humbucker
- Weight 3,7 kg
Finding a great 1pc koa body in these days is quite difficult.
And if you do find it you will be asked lots of money for it.
Today, this guitar would have cost $4500 (according to Mike earlier last year).
It’s in mint condition apart from 2 tiny lacquer nicks at the bottom of the body.
Comes with tremolo arm, COA & hardshell case.
