Classic-S
Fixed-spec S-style single-coil electric loaded with Seymour Duncan Custom Flat Strat pickups.
About this guitar
The Classic-S is Alsip’s traditional take on the double-cutaway single-coil format, loaded with a set of Seymour Duncan Custom Flat Strat pickups for a fat, vintage-leaning strat sound. Unlike Alsip’s other series, the Classic line ships at one fixed spec and price rather than build-to-order.
