The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Stratocaster's hand-selected hardware includes a Vintage-Synchronized Tremolo bridge with Graph Tech saddles that provide ultra-smooth operation. Complete with an early '60s "C" neck profile, 7.25" fretboard radius, and jumbo frets, Sweetwater is sure the Fender Kenny Wayne Shepherd Stratocaster will exceed your expectations.





Based on Kenny's favorite 1961 Fender Stratocaster
Taking his cues from Stevie Ray Vaughan and following in the footsteps of Muddy Waters, Kenny Wayne Shepard's unique, self-taught blues-rock style blossomed out of his deep and instinctual connection with his instrument. When this connection led him to his original 1961 Stratocaster, he'd finally found the expressive instrument he'd been looking for. This Fender Kenny Wayne Shepherd Stratocaster captures the essence of that amazing instrument, giving you a chance to experience the look, sound, and feel of a true blues prodigy's guitar.




Custom single-coil pickups deliver exceptionally dynamic tone
Given enough time, no two guitars, no matter how similar, sound quite the same. So, if you picked up another '61 Strat, it probably wouldn't give you quite the tone or the same dynamic response as Kenny Wayne Shepard's favorite axe. That's why Fender painstakingly analyzed and re-created the sound of his original pickups when they built the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Stratocaster. Loaded with these three sweet-sounding custom single-coil pickups, the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Stratocaster is sure to give you the focused and wonderfully articulate tone you're looking for.
