The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Five distinct pickup positions for the widest tonal range of any electric guitar design. Iconic contoured double-cutaway body that's comfortable for hours of playing. Tremolo system adding vibrato expression to every note. The design that shaped the sound of modern popular music.
Positions 2 and 4 on the 5-way switch are where the Strat magic lives - that glassy, bell-like quack is unlike anything else in the guitar world. Add a splash of spring reverb for instant inspiration.
The Stratocaster is the most versatile electric guitar ever designed - full stop. Five pickup positions cover every genre imaginable, the contoured body makes even marathon sessions comfortable, and that unmistakable Strat tone has been the soundtrack of popular music for seven decades. If you could only own one electric guitar, this design would be the smartest choice.
