Fender Cory Wong Stratocaster, Sapphire Blue Transparent

Full Description

Cory Wong

Cory Wong is a guitarist, bassist, songwriter and producer based in Minneapolis. He has released solo music, along with collaborative work, and has become well-known thanks to his guest spots in Vulfpeck, an American funk group. He is known for his soulful playing and his intricate picking in his performances. The Cory Wong Stratocaster replicates Cory's beloved Stratocaster while putting a twist on it to customise it to his style and sound.

Cory's distinctive tone

With customised Seymour Duncan Cory Wong Clean Machine pickups, you can recreate Cory's distinctive tone, along with the classic Stratocaster chime. Play with an overdriven tone while maintaining clarity and shine. As well as the pickups, the Cory Wong Stratocaster comes with a vintage-style 6-screw synchronised tremolo. This tremolo gives your performance expression through vibrato, but you can also mute the tremolo springs with Cory Wong's hair tie to achieve his rhythm tone. This guitar also has a treble bleed circuit which allows for higher frequencies and clarity at lower volumes.

Play in comfort

Enjoy pure ease of playing thanks to the neck on this guitar. The maple wood is finished with satin urethane - the perfect combination for quick playing. Its smooth feel allows for quick movement between frets. Another great feature is the neck profile. Made to a modern "D" profile, it provides plenty of neck to wrap your hand around and its rolled edges allows for hours of playing in comfort. The Cory Wong Stratocaster also comes with a neck heel which allows you to play the upper frets with ease.

Stand out on stage

The Cory Wong Stratocaster is designed with a sapphire blue transparent colour to recreate the look of Cory's original Strat. The transparency allows for you to see the woodgrain of the guitar to give it a unique look, but one that fits Cory Wong's style perfectly. The alder body is slightly smaller than your typical Stratocaster and that, along with its body contours and light body, allows for comfortable playing.
