MJT VTS Stratocaster - Nitro 2 Tone Sunburst Heavy Relic Finish (2020) - Sliders SRV 59' Pickups - AAAAA Flame Roasted Fender Maple Neck by Musikraft - Callaham Bridge w/ Brass Block - Vintage Spec - G&G Brown Strat Case
Dream guitar - the 2 Tone (pre 1957) Replica Strat! Premium parts and craftsmanship.
This listing is for a custom MJT Relic Stratocaster style guitar with a Fender neck by Musikraft. The guitar was designed to be as accurate as possible to an original 56' Strat...with a few modest upgrades...like a 5A flame neck :-). The body cavity has also been copper lined and tied to ground to keep any outside interference where it belongs....outside.
The neck is vintage spec with a compound radius. 5A Flame!
Rodney at Sliders, in my opinion, is the best there is when it comes to accurate vintage pickups. The SRV 59's that drive this guitar are well sought after. The bridge is the best - vintage spec - Callaham. The single ply pickguard is also Callaham. . Aged Kluson Tuners and guard shield, bone nut, pure vintage springs, alder body, roasted neck. Check this out!

Sliders Pickup Specs:
’59 “SRV”
Vintage 59’s
The 59′s are exact re-productions of Fender pickups produced in the late 50’s.
Throughout this period Strat pickups were built from similar materials and to the same basic specification, variation was mainly due to the differing batches of AlNiCo, coil wire and most importantly the individual operator that actually hand built the particular set. Around this time magnetic polarity went to South but retained the clockwise winding
My 59′s re-creates this general specification. I use my specially “Vintage Charged” AlNiCo 5 to replicate the very important, lower powered AlNiCo blends of the 50’s and 60’s.
59/SRV
The “59/SRV” re-creations are the same period correct 1959 set but given selected power adjusted AlNiCo and a small (secret) ”over wind” to nail Stevie’s power and warm/bluesy tones.
My 59/SRV ‘s are still a classic vintage voiced pickup, just tweaked a little to hit that clarity, warm up the tone and really drive that amp!
“Bakelite” style pickup covers, 6/32 UNC screws with amber rubber spacers.
At the end of the day all my pickups are totally vintage correct and as such, everything I make could have come from “back in the day”.
