Sound Pure's Take
Woah!! This might be one of the nicest roasted necks we've ever seen here at the shop! It plays like a dream and feels insanely comfortable to hold - lightweight but still extremely resonant. We will be ordering guitars just like this from Mario from now on as it's one of the most impressive pieces they've sent us - and that's saying something. This is the perfect strat if you're looking for traditional tones and vibe with modern playability and comfort.
From Mario Guitars
When the S-Style was first released in late 1950’s, it was designed with comfort in mind. The T-Style had already been released and many people complained of the discomfort it presented with its hard round overs and slab body. Thus, the S-Style with its contours and curves came to the rescue!
Since then, the S-Style has become an American icon. Possibly one of the most recognizable electric guitar shapes, S-Styles have graced the shoulders of Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and many, many more!
