Description
When Albert Hammond Jr needs to lay down tracks, either for The Strokes or for his solo work, the guitar he chooses is a customized 1985 reissue of the classic '72 Stratocaster. With a personalized pickup switching system that provides the neck/bridge combination by reversing the usual 1 and 3 switch positions, a decked tremolo bridge and all the proper vintage appointments, it's a truly individual instrument. This Custom Shop signature model carries all those features, plus the artist's signature on the headstock.
