Recognized for his incredible funk chops and inventive lead work, guitarist, producer and arranger Cory Wong has earned a loyal following through his soulful playing with Vulfpeck and his Grammy-nominated solo work, which have also led to sold-out arena performances. The Cory Wong Stratocaster® pays tribute to Cory's favorite Fender®, thoughtfully modified to meet the funk master's needs.
Its Sapphire Blue Transparent satin lacquer finish recreates the look and feel of Cory's beloved original Strat®, allowing the wood to breathe and wear in beautifully. The scaled-down alder body—slightly smaller than a typical Stratocaster—features sculpted comfort contours and is paired with an American Ultra™ Modern "D" neck profile for an exceptionally comfortable playing experience and easy access to the highest frets.
A set of Seymour Duncan® Cory Wong Clean Machine™ pickups, consisting of two single-coils and a stack bridge pickup, is fine-tuned to achieve Cory's distinctive tones. The set delivers classic Strat quack and chime as well as singing lead sounds.
Additional features include a maple neck with a subtly modified, larger headstock shape, a rosewood fingerboard with rolled edges and a compound 10-14" radius, and a vintage-style six-screw synchronized tremolo capable of everything from subtle vibrato to deep dive-bombs. Deluxe cast/sealed locking tuners provide improved tuning stability and make string changes quick and easy.
Also included are a Cory Wong hair tie for muting the tremolo springs to achieve Cory's rhythm tone, a rubber straplock washer set and a custom neck plate.
