Rees Electric Guitars has announced the introduction of the SS3 Electric Guitar. The SS3 is not just another stratocaster copy with added humbuckers, although it will feel familiar to anyone coming from that direction. An original designed body of selected hard tone-woods features a thin carbon fibre reinforced neck joint, offering better access to high frets.
The scratch-plate is 6mm solid figured maple, not cheap plastic, creating more musical resonance with long sustain as well as beauty. During development a plastic scratch-plate was tested and found detrimental to tone.
The Kahler bridge used on the SS3 is a heavyweight piece of precision kit, expensive to manufacture, but worth every cent and more. The result is a bridge that offers intimate feel and control; amazingly deep dives down as much as a whole octave; and with one of the right nuts: roller; low-friction; or locking; offers perfectly reliable tuning stability. Standard pickups are Seymour Duncan: JB bridge humbucker; Quarter pound strat middle; Jazz neck humbucker. Alternative pickup combinations are available to order.
Specs:
– Solid korina body with figured maple front-plate for string balance and ultimate tone.
– Kahler Hybrid vibrato bridge for deep dives and tuning stability or fixed action.
– Seymour Duncan pickups within a chamber for tone enhancement.
– Fender LSR Roller nut for tuning ease and accuracy, and string weight tolerance.
– Schaller locking machine-heads for easy string changing.
– Humbucker / single-coil switch provides a wide range of vintage and modern tones.
– Choice of korina stain colours, maple figuring, fret-board woods.
