With this superb Stratocaster-like, MB Guitars offers us a breathtaking replica of the original '60 to '62 models.
This custom order model is entirely handmade by Mike Bowes. Here, no digital machine, the processes are identical to those of the time with manual work pushed to the maximum.
In terms of the wood species used, these are ultra-selected to make perfect replicas. Weight, appearance, drying, nothing is left to chance. The Indian rosewood keys (250 years old) are treated to obtain the same look as the original Rio rosewood. It is so easy to mistake.
The cellulosic finishes are extremely well crafted for maximum finesse and a touch and look totally similar to vintage models.
As for attention to detail, this is simply off the charts.
- Fixing plate identical to the vintage models from the 60s
- Hand-dressed frets, slots cut with a hand saw
- Hardware and buttons reproduced to perfection. Even the screws and holes made in the pickguards are identical to those of the period.
- Pickguards made entirely by hand, as in the period, with discoloration and deformations
- Alan Dingwall pickups perfectly reproduce all the nuances of playing. Softness, twang and warmth are there with this characteristic "bloomy" attack and a precise bridge pickup, without being aggressive.
Mike Bowes' guitars are real "forgers" guitars. All the magic of the guitars of the time is present in his creations. The sound, the playing sensations, the look. You'd think you were there!
