Fender Custom Shop Deluxe Stratocaster - SOLD £1499

[Tripehound]

This is a fabulous Strat offering bags of tone, resonance and sustain and its condition is as good as the day it came out of Fender's Custom Shop in 2011. It comes in its original blond Tolex case with the Custom Shop Certificate of Authenticity and all the original case candy.

It’s a joy to play and although the look is classic sunburst Strat, there are subtle yet significant improvements such as a hand-selected, lightweight, one-piece ash body finished in faded three-tone sunburst nitrocellulose lacquer. You don't get that kind of attention to detail on factory production-line Strats and I apologise for the amateur quality of my photos, which don't do the guitar full justice. If you do have any questions I'd be glad to answer them for you.

Other premium Custom Shop features and improvements include:[list]
[*]Master Built Fat ‘50s pickups (6.5K output) with five-way switching and modern wiring i.e. the second tone control affects the bridge as well as the middle pickup
[*]AA grade, figured maple, C-shaped quartersawn neck sporting the Fender Custom Shop’s new hand-oiled neck finish. This provides a smooth, played-in feeling – and really shows-off the birdseye maple
[*]A dark Indian rosewood fretboard with a 9.5” radius, abalone markers and 6105 medium-jumbo frets
[*]A beautifully figured headstock bearing locking tuners and the Custom Shop logo on the reverse
[*]A modern two-point fulcrum tremolo unit with polished solid stainless-steel bridge saddles and trem block
[*]A sculptured neck/body heel for easy access to top frets with Custom Shop logo stamped on the heel plate.

These features represent the best updates available for the Strat’s time-honoured, classic design.

Best of all, this guitar fulfils all the Custom Shop’s promise in terms of classic looks, playability and TONE.


These Custom Deluxe Stratocasters retail for more than £2,000 so here is a genuine chance to save a reasonable amount of money. Sensible offers invited.

Collection from Stanton by Dale - halfway between Nottingham and Derby. A mile from J25 of the M1.
