{"product_id":"865159","title":"Fender USA USED IKEBE Special Mod Jeff Beck Stratocaster Update w\/Wilkinson Roller Nut (Surf Green\/R) [SN. US111115117]","description":"Recommended used items!\u003cbr\u003e A recommended used Ikebe Special Modified Model that was previously sold at Ikebe Musical Instruments! Manufactured in 2011.\u003cbr\u003e When it comes to Jeff Beck signature models, a Wilkinson roller nut is a must! So, we've modified this guitar with a Wilkinson Roller Nut at Ikebe Musical Instruments! This surf green guitar is reminiscent of Little Richard's!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Jeff Beck, a true master of his craft, who sadly passed away in 2023, was respected not only by many musicians but also by the master builders at Fender! We will never forget your incredible talent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A signature model from Jeff Beck, the master of whammy bar techniques who has constantly evolved!\u003cbr\u003e Among the three greatest guitarists, Jeff Beck has consistently amazed us with his continuous evolution. In particular, his emotionally charged playing in recent years, which makes extensive use of whammy bar techniques and fingerpicking, has been nothing short of divine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The signature Stratocaster that supported his playing was equipped with stainless steel saddles, a two-point American synchronized tremolo with a vintage-style arm, and locking tuners, all of which were specifications that enabled smooth tremolo action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Master builder signature Stratocasters, both Custom Shop and USA models, come standard with LSR roller nuts. However, this particular model is a modified version of the Wilkinson IKEBE ORDER Roller Nut, which is sold by IKEBE and has been pre-processed and installed by our repair technicians! To be honest, the LSR roller nut is superior in terms of precision, but Jeff Beck himself preferred the sound of the Wilkinson Roller Nut and continued to use it! This is a modified model tailored to his personal preference!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The body, featuring a heel cut for improved playability in the higher positions, is made of classic alder. Equipped with ceramic magnet Hot Noiseless pickups, it delivers a solid sound even with heavy drive. This is a choice typical of him, who frequently uses the bridge pickup! If you've been blown away by his whammy bar playing, this is a guitar we highly recommend!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We've just received a recommended used item! It's a 2011 model.\u003cbr\u003e There are some minor scratches, dents on the back of the body, discoloration on the body, pickguard, and parts, sticker residue on the back panel, paint peeling, and tarnishing of parts, but none of these affect its current functionality. It has been fully maintained and cleaned at our shop, so it is ready to use immediately! The \"Noiseless\" lettering on the pickup cover is faded, but this does not affect its operation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As mentioned above, this product has been retrofitted with a Wilkinson Roller Nut from the time of its initial sale. The LSR roller nut is not included.\u003cbr\u003e The Wilkinson Roller Nut has a tendency to produce a slight buzzing sound when played acoustically on open strings, but this is not an issue when amplified.\u003cbr\u003e We appreciate your understanding in advance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The frets have been leveled and it's ready to use. Approximately 85% of the fret life remains. The truss rod is also in good working order for normal adjustments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The electrical system has also been fully checked, so there are no problems with its operation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The weight is approximately 3.77 kg. It has a balanced design that produces a solid, focused sound!\u003cbr\u003e The color scheme is surf green, reminiscent of Little Richard, and was a main color used since the legendary album \"Guitar Shop\"!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Accessories include the original tweed hard case, keys, tremolo arm, wrenches, and the original warranty from the former distributor, Yamano Music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Don't miss this opportunity!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e SN.

Using thinner gauge strings may cause the nut to resonate. While they are compatible with gauges from 0.09-0.42 to 0.10-0.46, we recommend using 0.10-0.46.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSPEC\u003cbr\u003e BODY.....Alder\u003cbr\u003e NECK.....
