Finished in beautifully aged three-tone sunburst with a dark rosewood fingerboard and parchment plastics throughout, this Glas Customs Golden Era build channels the look, feel and snap of a great 1963 pre-CBS Stratocaster. At an exceptionally light 7.4 lbs, it feels lively, balanced and ready to disappear under your hands.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"431\" data-end=\"801\"\u003eEvery Glas Golden Era build begins with brand-new genuine Fender components before being upgraded with carefully selected boutique hardware and electronics. Each instrument is built completely by hand in Los Angeles over approximately four to six months, with every detail aged, checked, assembled, wired, inspected and professionally set up before leaving our workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"803\" data-end=\"1203\"\u003eThe lightweight body is finished in a thin three-tone sunburst nitro finish with natural-looking checking and wear throughout. As with every Golden Era build, the finish has been extensively UV bombed to deepen the color, promote checking and create the subtle ambering associated with decades-old nitro. The result is an instrument that feels genuinely broken-in rather than artificially distressed. Rings like a bell unplugged...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1205\" data-end=\"1432\"\u003eThe genuine Fender maple neck features a rosewood fingerboard, period-correct early-’60s decal, Fender\/Kluson pin-stripe tuners and our signature Glas branded neck plate, complete with its own unique Glas Guitars serial number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1434\" data-end=\"1600\"\u003eLike every Golden Era build, the neck pocket is exceptionally tight, helping transfer vibration cleanly between the neck and body for excellent resonance and sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1602\" data-end=\"1917\"\u003eThe neck has a comfortable ’60s C profile, 7.25\" fingerboard radius and 21 vintage-style frets. The rosewood fingerboard edges have been hand rolled, the nut has been hand finished, and the frets have been professionally dressed and polished. It feels familiar from the first chord—low, loose, quick and effortless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1919\" data-end=\"2283\"\u003eElectronics are built around a boutique set of hand-wound Arcane ’62 pickups. These deliver the bell-like clarity, woody midrange and slightly fuller response associated with the finest early-’60s Stratocasters. The neck pickup is glassy and dimensional, the in-between positions are hollow and expressive, and the bridge has plenty of bite without becoming harsh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2285\" data-end=\"2346\"\u003eThey’re paired with premium components throughout, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"2348\" data-end=\"2592\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1hibfdu\" data-start=\"2348\" data-end=\"2381\"\u003eCTS matched 450G potentiometers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1ohemul\" data-start=\"2382\" data-end=\"2409\"\u003eFull vintage cloth wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1mju7os\" data-start=\"2410\" data-end=\"2440\"\u003e5-way pickup selector switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"10mcmax\" data-start=\"2441\" data-end=\"2475\"\u003eTreble tone control modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"14uurdm\" data-start=\"2476\" data-end=\"2498\"\u003eTonePros output jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1j7f77k\" data-start=\"2499\" data-end=\"2544\"\u003ePeriod-correct 0.1μF paper-in-oil capacitor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1xdxw7c\" data-start=\"2545\" data-end=\"2592\"\u003eWired throughout using genuine vintage solder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2594\" data-end=\"2731\"\u003eThe treble tone control modification adds useful tone control to the bridge pickup while retaining the traditional Strat layout and feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2733\" data-end=\"3065\"\u003eThe chrome hardware has been tastefully aged throughout, while the vintage-spec 56mm synchronized tremolo is professionally set up fully floating with three springs. It moves smoothly, returns reliably and gives the guitar that expressive, breathing feel associated with a properly set-up vintage Strat. The tremolo arm is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3067\" data-end=\"3215\"\u003eParchment pickguard, pickup covers, knobs and switch tip complete the early-’60s look and sit perfectly against the aged three-tone sunburst finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3217\" data-end=\"3399\"\u003eProfessionally set up with 9–42 strings, the action is low, loose and fast.

But these builds aren’t museum clones. They’re made to riff on the golden era with purpose: vintage tone, old-school look, and high-performance reliability. Every piece is assembled by hand, every detail reviewed and tested before it leaves our shop. From the UV-bombed finish to the checking, wiring, nut work, and play feel — this is a boutique-grade Strat made for serious stage and studio work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3835\" data-end=\"3844\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3846\" data-end=\"4079\"\u003eThis guitar is listed in Excellent condition.
