Shabat Lynx SSS - Sonic Blue

The Altitude Summary

Channeling the iconic vibe of 1957, the Shabat Lynx stands as a dream for strat enthusiasts. It tips the scales at a mere 7.3 pounds and sports a custom Sonic Blue finish, achieved through Shabat's renowned subtle relic'ing technique in nitrocellulose. Equipped with Lollar Sixty-Four single coil pickups in the neck and middle positions, it offers pristine, bell-like tones, while the bridge pickup introduces a distinctively quacky and crunchy sound.

This model combines retro charm with cutting-edge functionality, featuring a truss rod accessible at the neck heel, similar to Fender’s elite Stratocasters. Its neck, made from hard maple, is adorned with Dunlop 6105 nickel-silver frets and 1/4" black dot inlays. The '50s soft V neck profile, narrowing from 0.88 to 0.98 inches and transitioning from a 7.25 to 9.5-inch compound radius, ensures effortless navigation of the fretboard.

This guitar perfectly captures the classic strat essence through its custom color, traditional body contours, soft V neck profile, and lightweight design inspired by vintage models.
