A Strat-Type Guitar Best at a Price You Can Afford

I Just received this guitar, and IMO it plays better than the Strat I just sold. They seem to be a good American builder.The fret ends were PERFECT on this guitar. Check them out.

What is the Treker Classic '57 Guitar?

The Treker classic '57 is a high end instrument, built with advanced manufacturing techniques, the finest components and the best Bunker guitar tone woods. All paired with a level of care and innovation that Bunker has delivered for generations.

Why is The Classic '57 The "Top Guitar" Over Other "Strat-Type" guitars?

A lot of other guitar shops produce quality instruments. However, what truly sets the Classic '57 apart from everything else is Bunker's superior truss rod type adjustment technology which vastly improves the sound and playability of any guitar.

Welcome to the Tension Free Neck:

showing-bar-in-neck-nologo

The Tension Free Neck removes the pressure from the neck normally applied by the strings (90-180lbs avg depending on gauge). Among many other things, this allows the neck tonewood to freely resonate.

This neck, combined with Bunker craftsmanship throughout, exalts the Treker Classic '57 to a status normally associated with expensive boutique guitars.

What Are The Benefits of The Tension Free Guitar Neck?

  • Increased clarity of tone
  • More sustain
  • More consistent tone on all parts of neck
  • Less tension on the neck
  • Easier to bend strings and play
  • More even balanced tone on the strings
  • Lifetime warranty on neck
  • Easier to adjust set up
  • Easier to adjust the action

    And MANY More!

Because there is no tension on the wood, the neck is free to resonate, thus, delivering tremendous sustain, and tone. What this translates for you is greater tone range, less frequent tuning, strings last longer.

Not only do you get all of the above, but your new Tension Free guitar neck comes with a LIFETIME WARRANTY!

The Treker Classic '57 Is THE Top Guitar in its Class

How Can Bunker Produce The Classic '57 at Such an Incredible Price?

Bunker is able to build an American made Strat-type guitar with the incredible features of the Tension Free Neck at an affordable price by taking over 75 years of experience and streamlining the manufacturing and production processes of our Custom Guitar shop with standard options, colors, and specs so that we can keep costs low and in turn offer a high quality American Made Guitar from an American Guitar Company.

We chose our most popular replacement neck (typically a replacement for the Fender Strat) and used that as the center of our project.

We then combined our state of the art manufacturing technology, our CNC capability (Computerized Routers), automatic paint lines, advanced manufacturing techniques, a highly trained staff of luthiers & team members to create a guitar unmatched in quality and features at an incredible price. cncneck

Amazingly lighter than most regular Fender guitars I have played . . . The neck has a tight fit into the body and it seems unaffected by the fact that it's a bolt on. At times I could have sworn I was playing a neck through . . . fret work is just that damn good.

- Rob Montegue
