Guitarist, producer, and arranger Cory Wong is renowned for his amazing funk skills and creative lead playing. His soulful performances with Vulfpeck and Grammy-nominated solo work have won him a dedicated fan base and led to sold - out arena shows. The Cory Wong Stratocaster® is a special tribute to Cory's love for Fender®, carefully modified to fit the funk maestro's requirements. With limited quantities in each color, this exclusive guitar will make you stand out from the crowd.
The satin lacquer finish mimics the look and feel of Cory's favorite original Strat®. The smaller alder body, a bit smaller than a standard Stratocaster, combined with the American Ultra™ Modern 'D' neck and contoured body, offers an incredibly comfortable playing experience. Seymour Duncan® Cory Wong Clean Machine™ pickups deliver classic Strat quack and chime, precisely tuned for his unique tone.
Other features include a maple neck with a slightly changed headstock shape, a rosewood fingerboard with rolled edges and a 10 - 14' compound radius, a vintage - style 6 - screw synchronized tremolo, deluxe locking tuners for better tuning stability and easy string changes, and a push/push pot on Tone 2 that bypasses the 5 - way switch and defaults to 'Position 4'. It also comes with a Cory Wong hair tie (to mute tremolo springs for his rhythm tone), a rubber straplock washer set, and a custom neck plate.

Using your Cory Wong Stratocaster is a breeze. Just plug it into your amplifier, and you're ready to play. The guitar has a comfortable body shape and neck, so you can play for hours without getting tired. When changing strings, use the deluxe locking tuners for easy and stable tuning. The push/push pot on Tone 2 can give you a different sound, so feel free to experiment with it.
For the tremolo, you can use the Cory Wong hair tie to mute the springs and get his signature rhythm tone. Make sure to keep the guitar in its deluxe molded case when not in use to protect it from damage.
To maintain your guitar, clean the strings regularly with a soft cloth to keep them sounding great. Wipe down the body and neck to prevent dirt and grime buildup. If you notice any issues with the tuning or pickups, it's a good idea to take it to a professional guitar technician for a check - up.
