Taking its cues from the legendary Olympic White Strat famously played by Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock in 1969, this build captures the unmistakable look, feel and soul of the era while incorporating subtle modern refinements where they genuinely improve the playing experience.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"460\" data-end=\"837\"\u003eEvery Glas Golden Era build begins with genuine Fender components before being carefully upgraded with the finest boutique hardware and electronics available. Every instrument is built completely by hand in Los Angeles over approximately four to six months, with every detail individually relic'd, checked, assembled, wired and professionally setup before leaving our workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"839\" data-end=\"1529\"\u003eFinished in beautifully aged Olympic White nitro, the body features authentic checking throughout, creating the appearance of a guitar that's spent decades on stage while remaining structurally brand new. Once the relic work is complete, every finish is UV bombed, accelerating the natural aging process while promoting authentic checking and subtle ambering that gives each instrument its own unique vintage character. The relic work is subtle, believable and designed to continue looking natural for years to come. Weighing a perfectly balanced 7.8 lbs alder, this Strat feels incredibly comfortable on the shoulder and rings acoustically with outstanding resonance before it's even plugged in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1531\" data-end=\"1886\"\u003eThe genuine Fender maple neck features a period-correct late-'60s decal, vintage-style F tuners and our signature Glas branded neck plate, complete with its own unique Glas serial number. Like every Golden Era build, the neck pocket fit is exceptionally tight, maximizing vibration transfer between the neck and body for exceptional resonance and sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1888\" data-end=\"2359\"\u003eModern functionality has been carefully incorporated without compromising the vintage aesthetic. The neck features a comfortable '60s C profile, a modern 9.5\" radius, 22 jumbo frets, hand-rolled fingerboard edges, a hand-shaped nut and professionally dressed and polished frets. Every neck is carefully finished by hand to deliver the broken-in feel of a well-played vintage instrument while offering the consistency and reliability expected from a modern boutique build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2361\" data-end=\"2413\"\u003eElectronics are where this guitar truly comes alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2415\" data-end=\"2717\"\u003eLoaded with a boutique set of hand-wound Arcane Inc.
