Russell Guitars – Midnight Shadow

Hand-set, intonated, and ready for stage or studio.

Overview

The Midnight Shadow blends classic Strat DNA with modern precision. Its flat-black finish and all-maple neck give it a stripped, purposeful feel, while a trio of Seymour Duncan rail humbuckers delivers anything from glassy clarity to full-bore aggression. Every guitar is set up, intonated, and tested before shipping — built to perform, not just to impress.

Setup & Playability

Tone Profile

Position one sings with bright Strat sparkle; switch up, and it thickens into creamy midrange punch. Roll into the bridge humbucker, and the Midnight Shadow growls with the kind of sustain that begs for overdrive.

Excellent. Minimal surface wear, no structural or electronic issues. Ready to play.
