Seafoam Green relic nitrocellulose finish with mint green guard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverview\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt by Mike Hobbs, this guitar reflects a genuine engagement with what made the 60s style guitars so enduring. Two-piece alder body, maple C-shape neck, rosewood fingerboard with clay dots, and Monty's 62 hand-wound pickups throughout. The relic treatment is considered rather than cosmetic: it gives the guitar the broken-in quality that takes years to arrive on a factory instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two-piece alder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maple, C profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood with clay dots, 9.5 inch radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dunlop 6105\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePickups:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monty's 62 hand-wound (bridge, middle, neck)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectronics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monty's loom to match pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gotoh relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mint green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seafoam Green relic nitrocellulose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTone and Feel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlder is the natural choice for an S-style build and Mike uses it well here. The body is balanced and responsive with a clarity that suits all three pickup positions. The Monty's 62 hand-wound pickups have the chime and glass of the original design with a slightly more refined character in the upper mids. Good tonal range across the 5-way selector, from the full neck warmth to the quack of positions 2 and 4. The rosewood fingerboard with clay dots adds a period-correct feel, and the C profile neck is easy to live with across a long session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew, relic finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGig bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor detailed photos or to arrange a viewing at Crafted Guitar Shop in Bath, please get in touch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mike Hobbs Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57334341992830,"sku":"RSJATP","price":3400.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/0787\/8014\/files\/Sea2.jpg?v=1777469801","url":"https:\/\/www.craftedguitars.co.uk\/products\/mike-hobbs-seafoam-green-strat","provider":"Crafted Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
