Purchased recently from the breeze.

It is gorgeous, but I am spending all my time with my Ryder and think I've only taken this out of the case twice. Given the push to raise funds for my new magazine, this is reluctantly up for sale.

Specs are:

Fender Custom Shop 1959 Stratocaster NOS Limited Edition

Faded Sonic Blue

2 piece alder body (sorted for weight)

Mid 60’s oval C rosewood, round lam neck

Custom compound radius: 7.25”-9.5”

Custom handwound Josefina Campos pickups

Vintage locking tuners

6105 frets

22 fret neck with H/S adjust

Tinted thin satin lacquer on back of neck

Bone nut

Eric Johnson wiring - bridge wired to outer tone control, neck wired to inner control, no tone control for middle

Limited Edition centre pocket tweed case

Guitar is in pristine condition, case has one or two very small scuffs.

£1900

Will ship, but only if fully insured, at a cost of £50. 

Withdrawn

Cheers!

This is a beautiful guitar.  Most custom shop strats are good instruments but imo this was close to perfection.  I only sold to fund a vintage guitar.  Someone will be very happy.

59? I thought rosewood boards and 3 ply guards were in the 60's?

Thanks for that. The Custom shop certificate states 59 Limited Edition NOS. 

So I’m going to stick with that if it’s all the same to you.

59 was the transition year...

Soooo close to my ideal Strat. Don’t suppose you’d trade in and give a home to a lonely USA Schecter Custom Shop PT?
