Fender Cory Wong Signature Stratocaster in Sapphire Blue Transparent

Cory Wong is a modern guitar master. Acclaimed for his incredible funk chops and inventive, soulful lead work with Vulfpeck; Wong is also Grammy-nominated solo artist in his own right, who's unique style has garnered plenty of adoring fans.

Fender has now collaborated with Wong on a signature Stratocaster which captures the essence of his favourite guitar, but comes thoughtfully modified to meet his ever-changing demands. Based on a high-spec American Ultra Strat, the Fender Cory Wong model sports a few eccentric tweaks that make it something completely original — just like the man himself!

Key Features

• Scaled-Down Alder Body — Slightly smaller than a typical Stratocaster; featuring sculpted body contours for a sublimely comfortable playing experience.
• American Ultra Modern “D” Neck — Slim, supportive shape suited for the latest generation of players; enhanced with a slippery satin lacquer.
• Sapphire Blue Transparent Satin Finish — Recreates the look and feel of Cory’s beloved original Strat.
• Compound 10"-14" Radius Fingerboard — Rounded at the lower end of the neck and flattens out the higher you go; for optimal playability and choke-free string bends.
• Rolled Fingerboard Edges — Provides exceptional playing comfort; no more sharp fret ends!
• Medium Jumbo Frets — Modern size for a controllable feel and enhanced tone.
• Vintage-Style Synchronized Tremolo — Allows you to embellish chords and lead lines with tasteful vibrato.
• Deluxe Locking Tuners — Guarantee superior tuning stability and make string changes fast.
• Bone Nut — Traditional, low-friction material boosts sustain and minimises unwanted tuning slips.
• Seymour Duncan Cory Wong Signature Pickups — Provide classic Strat quack and chime; fine-tuned to achieve Wong's distinctive tone.
• Extra Accessories — Also included are a Cory Wong hair tie (for muting the tremolo springs to capture Cory’s rhythm tone), a rubber strap-lock washer set and a custom neck plate.
