Rastacasta Standard & One Love Guitar Strap Giveaway
rfg
How to enter: Simply sign up for the newsletter,  Check Enter me into the contest. That’s it.
A winner will be announced live on our FaceBook pageon November 17th 2018!
“The Rastacasta was born out of 40 years of tweaking my favourite guitar, a 1972 CBS Stratocaster. In my opinion, Leo Fender created the best guitar of its time, inspired by the perfection of Stradivarius, as the name implies. Since 1972 there have been numerous improvements in technology that have made their way into the modern Strat as well as numerous iterations of the original design. The Rastacasta is one of the original Strat’s finest progeny.
I originally started with a Strat clone with stacked humbuckers which gradually evolved into the first Rastacasta made for me by ESP Guitars as an artist’s custom model. That guitar came very close to my vision, but still had some of the inherent shortcomings I found in the Strat. I loved the red, gold, and green paint scheme designed by Jesse Hiatt for my original Rastacasta. It is now available on all models as are solid color versions in white, black, and red. Rosewood fingerboards are also an option for all models.
When the opportunity arose to build my own version of the Rastacasta I decided to start with a clean slate. The original concept evolved out of conversations between myself and Canadian designer Bill Compeau. Our ideas were further refined by Glenn Sweetwood of Sweetwood Guitars. The neck joint is improved and far more comfortable than the standard four bolt traditional style. The cutaway is also slightly deeper and gives full access to the upper range of the finger board. The Deluxe and Elite models feature carbon fibre reinforced necks and 3D coupling.
