Fender Kenny Wayne Shepherd Strat - Transparent Faded Sonic Blue w/ Case

Kenny Wayne Shepherd's fiery leads, meaty rhythms, and hard-driving songs have propelled his robust career through nine solo records - three certified platinum, major tours with Buddy Guy, Van Halen, and The Rolling Stones, and an ongoing collaboration with blues-supergroup The Rides with Stephen Stills.

The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Stratocaster features a chambered ash body for vibrant and resonant tone, while the Transparent Faded Sonic Blue lacquer finish highlights the beautiful ash grain. The early '60s inspired "C"-shaped maple neck and bound rosewood fingerboard - with a 7.25" radius - offer comfort and playability straight out of Fender's golden age. Loaded with three Kenny Wayne Shepherd custom pickups, this guitar delivers punchy and full-throated Strat tones.
