The Fender Kenny Wayne Shepherd Stratocaster is the blues-rocker's signature model, a vintage-flavored Strat with a chambered ash body for a resonant, lively tone, an early-60s C-shaped maple neck and a bound rosewood fingerboard. It is voiced for expressive blues and blues-rock, with classic single-coil sparkle, snap and quack plus the warmth and bloom of the chambered body, suiting fiery lead playing and rhythm alike. Modeled on his beloved 1961 Strat, it delivers traditional Stratocaster character with a touch more resonance and sustain. It pairs naturally with clean and overdriven tube amps and rewards a dynamic, fingers-and-pick blues approach.
The Magneto Sonnet RawDawg III is Eric Gales' signature electric, a Stratocaster-inspired guitar with a basswood body, roasted maple neck, rosewood fingerboard and a right-handed Gotoh tremolo and tuners that Gales, a left-handed player who strings upside down, flips to suit his style. It carries Magneto Metro-Poles EG1 single-coils, with Gales nicknaming the neck the Albert King pickup and the neck-and-middle blend his Stevie Ray setting. The result is a vocal, expressive single-coil voice with classic Strat snap, warmth and quack tailored to fiery blues-rock lead and rhythm. It pairs naturally with clean, loud amps that let its dynamics and touch sensitivity shine.
