Renowned for his amazing funk skills and creative lead playing, guitarist, producer, and arranger Cory Wong has built a dedicated fan - base. His work with Vulfpeck and Grammy - nominated solo projects have led to sold - out arena shows. The Cory Wong Stratocaster® pays homage to Cory's love for Fender® and is carefully customized to suit the funk maestro's needs. With limited quantities in each color, this guitar makes you stand out.
The satin lacquer finish replicates the look and feel of Cory's cherished original Strat®. The smaller alder body, paired with an American Ultra™ Modern 'D' neck and contoured body, offers a super - comfortable playing experience. Seymour Duncan® Cory Wong Clean Machine™ pickups deliver classic Strat sounds, tuned for his unique tone.
Other features include a maple neck with a modified headstock, a rosewood fingerboard with rolled edges and a 10 - 14' compound radius, a vintage - style 6 - screw tremolo, deluxe locking tuners for stable tuning and easy string changes, and a push/push pot on Tone 2 that bypasses the 5 - way switch. It also comes with a Cory Wong hair tie, a rubber straplock washer set, and a custom neck plate.

Using this guitar is a breeze. Just plug it into your amplifier, adjust the volume and tone knobs to your liking, and start playing. The deluxe locking tuners make it easy to change strings and keep your guitar in tune. To get Cory's rhythm tone, use the included hair tie to mute the tremolo springs.
When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar clean. Wipe it down after each use with a soft, dry cloth to remove fingerprints and dust. If the strings start to sound dull or lose their tone, it's time to change them. Make sure to store your guitar in the provided deluxe molded case when not in use to protect it from damage. And be gentle with the hardware, like the tremolo and tuners, to keep them working well for a long time.
