I'll be on tour from Saturday for 3weeks so I will not be able to post this until after oct 25  Apologies
This is a very early MCLguitars (from when they were previously "custom relics") LENNY Strat in LEFTY. You will not be able to get one like this anymore. I believe he was given the inevitable legal wrist slap from fender, and therefore now alters his head stock shapes to avoid the consequences. So this guitar is very rare to come by and in lefty even more so.    It's a featherweight 2.8kg/6.1ounce, see pic of it on scales. This example is meticulously accurate in both aesthetic, function and tone. It is as close to the real thing a lefty will ever get. And I am not Kidding. This is a regrettable sale due to another vintage guitar that I have on hold that needs more money thrown at it. so as much as I love this as a show piece and a home studio indulgence, it's got to be passed forward at this point.  Big chunky neck, with a standard 1and5/8nut width. Jumbo frets 6100, no fret wear at all. Years and years of fret life left. I haven't played it very much at all, Infact upon doing a very quick YouTube snippet I was kinda bummed because I realised again how rediculously on point the guitar is. I haven't played it much, because like srv I dig in pretty hard and I wanted to preserve it as is for as long as possible.        Plenty of acoustic volume piano/bell like spank, sustain and volume even before it's plugged in.  Then when it is, the Klein custom wound 65s period correct and spot on nail the LENNY 3D sparkle. So much so that it give my two pre CBS lefty strats a run for their money on those sweet and haunting srv subtleties.  The attention to every tiny detail in relicing is insane, all markings and micro checking as you would expect. Top shelf - two piece, light weight alder body, and riff sawn maple neck, not flat sawn or quarter sawn like many people mistakingly assume. Hardware to match all the Lenny trimmings etc etc. It's right on the money.  You will not be able to get a Lenny replica that is this close the original without spending 10k on q custom shop
