Considered to be one of the greatest modern-day builders, Vincent is the man behind many prestigious guitars: replica of Gary Moore’s ’61 Stratocaster, a 30-piece run of the Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughan 30th anniversary Stratocaster guitars, and most recently the Phil Lynott Precision Bass. “There’s a certain feel and sound and look that is specific to Fender instruments, and that’s the reason people love them so much. To me that’s exciting, and to be part of a legacy like that is a dream come true,” says the man who’s both a musician and Fender fan himself. As of today, Vincent has left Fender, which makes his custom builds an even rarer acquisition for Fender aficionados. Here are some of the highlights for his Custom Shop Stratocaster in Faded Aged Sage Green Metallic with Dakota Red Bottom color:
Alder body, Flame AAA Maple neck, Ebony fingerboard, Pickups: Handwound 60/63 Neck Relic/Handwound 60/63 Mid RWRP Relic/Handwound 60/63 Bridge Relic, 60 Strat Nitro Relic 3-Ply Mint Green G/B/G pickguard, American Vintage Strat Bridge Relic bridge.
