2022 Whitfill Relic Standard S Strat-Style Electric Guitar



Overview: We've had a Whitfill or two through the shop in the past. This one is beautifully-made and features a very retro, bigger neck profile and a super-relic'd, clearcoat-crackled finish style that looks killer with that metallic turquoise color. This sounds like a classic Strat and does all of the stuff that entails to a T. In the video, the middle pickup is set a little low (this is what the owner's preferences are), but I think you get the idea of the sound.


Mr. Charles Whitfill builds each guitar to spec himself, so these are truly small-shop instruments. They feel broken-in when freshly-built  and handle like old friends.
