From the Brad Whitford Collection at Donn Bennett’s Drum Vault.

This Franken-Caster was built specifically for Brad Whitford for use on the 2011 Experience Hendrix Tour. It is one of several “go-to” Strats Brad used on that tour and subsequent Aerosmith tours. The guitar was built for Brad by his longtime tech and partner in 3 Monkeys Amplification, Greg Howard. Greg started with a 1970s Fender neck and body. He upgraded the pick-ups with $1,500 worth of Ron Ellis’s best 50/60s Strat pickups. The original tuners have been swapped out but are included as well as the Fender case in the photos.

Acquired directly from Brad Whitford. Brad’s guitar tech personally inspected the guitar. He adjusted the neck, polished the frets, oiled the fretboard, sprayed the pots and installed new strings. The guitar is in excellent working condition with no notable issues. The guitar is identified by an Aerosmith inventory tag on the headstock. It includes a hardshell case, one of Brad’s custom Aerosmith guitar pics and a certificate of authenticity signed by Brad Whitford.
