Recognised for his incredible funk chops and inventive lead work, guitarist, producer, and arranger Cory Wongs soulful playing with Vulfpeck, as well as his Grammy-nominated solo work have earned him a loyal following and led to sold-out arena performances. The Cory Wong Stratocaster® is a tribute to Corys favourite Fender®, thoughtfully modified to meet the funk masters needs.
The Sapphire Blue Transparent satin lacquer finish recreates the look and feel of Corys beloved original Strat®, while the scaled-down alder body slightly smaller than a typical Stratocaster combined with American Ultra Modern D neck and sculpted body contours deliver a sublimely comfortable playing experience. A set of Seymour Duncan® Cory Wong Clean Machine pickups provides classic Strat quack and chime, fine-tuned to achieve his distinctive tone.
Other features include a maple neck with subtly modified headstock shape, rosewood fingerboard with rolled edges and a compound 10-14 radius, vintage-style 6-screw synchronised Tremolo, deluxe locking tuners that provide improved tuning stability and easy string changes, and a push/push pot on Tone 2 that bypasses the 5-way switch and defaults to "Position 4". Also included are a Cory Wong hair tie (for muting the tremolo springs to achieve Corys rhythm tone), rubber straplock washer set and custom neck plate.
