Pays tribute to Cory Wong's number-one Strat

Truckloads of custom Strat tone





The Fender Cory Wong Stratocaster is loaded with Seymour Duncan pickups. You get two Cory Wong Signature single-coils in the neck and middle possitions and a Cory Wong Signature Stack in the bridge position. From glassy cleans to chunky grind, these pickups serve up the classic quack and chime Strats are famous for, fine-tuned to achieve Cory's one-of-a-kind tone. This potent sonic elixir is stirred through a 5-way blade pickup selector. What's more, the Cory Wong Strat's master volume includes a Treble-Bleed circuit, which preserves high frequencies and clarity at lower volumes ? a feature many guitarists at Sweetwater find incredibly useful.





Rolled compound-radius fingerboard





The Cory Wong Stratocaster's performance-driven features extend to its neck and fingerboard in a big way. Its fingerboard sports an easy-playing compound radius and 22 medium-jumbo frets, with rolled edges to supply endless hours of playing comfort. A Modern "D" profile gives you plenty of neck to wrap your hand around, while never interfering with your playing. And the neck’s super-slick satin urethane finish feels faster than a getaway car, encouraging lightning-quick fingering and deft hand maneuvering.
