An Artist Series Strat Designed with Cory Wong
Designed with the groove master, this Stratocaster pays tribute to his favorite instrument. Satin finish for a "player's grade" look, subtly redesigned headstock, and alder body with a reduced profile for ergonomics. Available in limited editions "Surf Green" and "Daphne Blue," it stays true to Fender tradition while incorporating Cory's stage preferences.
For Which Musician and Styles?
Ideal for
intermediate to expert guitarists seeking highly defined clean tones. Perfect for
funk, pop, soul, R&B, disco, and gospel where rhythmic precision and articulation are essential. It also covers
indie, blues, and light rock genres thanks to its versatile SSS configuration.
The Sound
The
alder body and
maple neck provide attack, projection, and tight mids. The set of
Seymour Duncan Cory Wong Clean Machine pickups delivers the characteristic Strat snap, with a
Custom Stack Plus bridge pickup to reduce noise while maintaining brightness. The
push/push (on Tone 2) bypasses the 5-position selector to instantly return to
Position 4 (neck + middle), Cory's rhythmic recipe. The
vintage 6-screw tremolo adds spring and "snap," while the
Master Volume with treble-bleed preserves highs when lowering the volume.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original response and balance, opt for
nickel strings 10-46 (Fender 250R type). Add a
standard 50-60 mm strap and a
universal stand to secure the instrument between sets. The included molded case perfectly protects the guitar during transport.
