We are proud to present the Metrocaster, a guitar inspired by the graffiti covered subway and streets of 1970s New York City . This instrument embodies the hard edged New York ethos.

A handmade custom Strat with a Daphne Blue over Sunburst Two Tone relic finish and a genuine 1970s license plate pickguard  and New York graffiti themed collage embedded into the finish on the neck and body. Genuine alder solid body and maple neck with jumbo frets ,smoothed to perfection. With your choice of pickups in a 5 way switch configuration,
0.47 orange drop capacitor. 250k pots.This guitar has one of the sweetest configurations, simple but versatile, capable of replicating that strat tone unique to Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Johnson etc.

Every detail has been attended to on The Metrocaster. The floating bridge has been set up for perfect intonation and a two pivot system (or hardtail upon request). Bridge is a vintage style Strat bridge. Vintage style locking tuners have been customized to match the California theme. All cavities have been lined with copper tape to minimize strat hum.The bone nut is handmade to play cleanly with the neck. The metal hardware and pickup covers have been aged to perfection for that slightly worn used look. The body has also been uniquely for a two tone look. It has 3 real bottle caps as the tone and volume knobs. .

The Metrocaster can be customized to the specifications of each individual customer. If you have original designs in mind, contact us and we can work these out,
