Rice Custom Strat

I just bought this Rice strat from a great forum member. I believe the body and neck are made by Musickraft, wilkinson trem, gotoh tuners and jason lollar blackface pickups. Neck and body are finished in a thin nitro. The neck is probably the most comfortable neck I have played in a while. Feels like a 50 year old guitar. Great work.

In all honesty, I have only played one strat that felt this good. It was a '65 Fender. This guitar is remarkable. Very inspiring to play.

Hope you enjoy.

I'm glad to hear it went to a good home. That's a great feeling and sounding guitar, here's a cool photo I took before it left here.

Monte, glad you are digging it. I will never forget the neck on that one. I remember in the winter, it would be cool when I picked it up, and I could gradually feel the neck warming from my hand. That's some serious character. Those Lollars are phenomenal in there too. Enjoy!!
