NGD Fender Vintera 50s Strat

Post by xCaptainx »

Well the metal band is no more so I figured I'd settle down in my old age and get something a bit more sensible :lol:

Main things I wanted was something vintage and in sea foam green so I was stoked with the Vintera 50s strat was announced earlier this year.

MIM
Alder body, maple neck.
Soft V neck profile
Vintage style 50s single coils
7.25" radius
six point vintage trem
vintage style tuning machines.

It's a nice vintage pairing for my more modern Kiesel build!

I'd post clips, but due to technical difficulties my Katana mkII amp is arriving a little later than was expected :lol: Hopefully I'll be able to have a hoon on this later in the week with the new setup.

I'm a decade too old to 'djent' tbh, my metal roots are very early/mid 2000s. Plus yeah I don't think I can play anything non metal either hahah so this will be a nice wee guitar to learn a few new things on!

I agree with Keon, it's a great colour.

I want to paint my tele that colour. Or 'Texas tea', but I don't know where to find that colour.

Assymetrical rocks. I can lend you a guitar with a Warmoth neck which is Wolfgang profile, if you are a right hander and in Auckland.
