help Nash Guitars S-68 FAQ
Why does the Nash S-68 have a reversed Strat-style body and headstock?
The S-68 is inspired by late-1960s left-handed Stratocasters played upside down by right-handed guitarists, most famously Jimi Hendrix. Reversing the bridge pickup angle and string lengths behind the nut can subtly alter the instrument's response.
Is the Nash S-68 a left-handed guitar?
The model is generally built as a reverse-body instrument for a right-handed player, rather than simply being a normal left-handed guitar. Because Nash instruments can be ordered in different configurations, buyers should confirm the nut, controls and strap-button layout on the individual example.
How many pickups does a Nash S-68 have?
The S-68 follows the familiar Stratocaster arrangement of three single-coil pickups, not one pickup as some catalog descriptions suggest. Its reverse-angle bridge pickup is a defining part of the late-1960s concept.
Is a Nash S-68 an original 1968 Fender?
No, it is a modern Nash guitar made in the United States and cosmetically aged to suggest a heavily played vintage instrument. Fender's Stratocaster is the historical reference, but Nash Guitars is a separate manufacturer.
