Sunburst Stratocaster Custom Guitar

Parts made by Rockinger, Hannover, Germany. (circa 1984)
Rockinger Strat.

The Rockinger Strat (http://www.rockinger.com) is modeled after a 1950's classic with Swamp Ash body, finished in two-tone Sunburst. The neck is European Maple, 7.25-inch radius, with a Rosewood fingerboard. These parts were purchased at the factory in Hannover, Germany during 1984. The stock bone nut was replaced with a TUSQ nut, though not sure it made much difference.

Pickups are a set of Seymour Duncan SSL-1s. These pickups sound nice and bright with the Swamp Ash body and especially nice with Ernie Ball Power Slinkys.

The guitar is fitted with a 2-point tremelo system which works well and stays in tune fairly well.
