Strat or single-cut: where to start?
Start with how the guitar feels: neck profile, scale length, weight and fret condition. Then compare the pickups. ST-style models and humbucker-equipped guitars offer different possibilities, and playing the actual instrument is the best way to judge it. If you want a different voice, Guitar Lab can help choose pickups and assess installation options.
Check the instrument and its history
Service work, replaced parts and signs of use are described for each instrument. If a listing is for an instrument still being prepared, check its stated schedule. You can inspect and play guitars at our shop at Dąbrowskiego 307 in Poznań. Online purchases follow the terms shown on the chosen marketplace.
