Since he first began performing at the age of 13, Kenny Wayne Shepherd has been at the forefront of modern blues-rock guitarists. The multiple-Grammy-nominated, Louisiana-born axeman and songsmith has sold millions of albums while throwing singles into the Top 10, shining a light on the rich blues of the past and forging ahead with his own modern twist on a classic sound he has embodied since his teens. This signature Strat is loaded with custom KWS pickups and boasts a bound, vintage-radius rosewood fingerboard and artist-profile quartersawn maple neck. If ever a guitar was born to play the blues, this one is.
