2010 Fender Custom Shop '59 Stratocaster Relic Featured in Guitar and Bass Magazine! I am reluctantly selling my beloved relic, i fell in love with this guitar the moment i laid eyes on it and it's not difficult to see why! This is a beautiful guitar with no comparison and is a perfect example of why the relic guitar has become such an industry leading instrument as well as a popular choice for guitarists. The guitar itself was featured in the September 2010 volume 22, no 11 issue of guitar and bass magazine. Not only was the guitar featured on the front cover! but also features several other shots including a double page spread and a full page front view which really portrays the bold yet tasteful touches, adding to the guitars character. The guitar comes with it's Fender custom shop hard case as well as the certificate or authenticity. Items also includes Fender Custom Shop guitar lead, leather strap, tremolo bar and bridge cover.

There you go. It’s also listed as “new” which it isn’t. It’s just a £1300-1500 guitar that was in a magazine. I don’t think that adds £3500 or so to the price.

Its a nice looking one, and being in that mag is pretty cool, it probably adds something to the value/price - but not as much as the asking price.....although it is a best offer auction

Hmm looks like it's got a couple of dings and scratches too, you'd think that'd lower the price a bit..

New? NEW? IT’S EIGHT YEARS OLD!

Honestly, it pisses me off that ebay let people describe second-hand stuff as new.

I had the first RELIC Strat in the UK and it was the one reviewed in Guitarist at the time, sold it for £1750.

It's been so heavily relic'd that you'd never know if he *had* spent the last eight years gigging the absolute bejesus out of it.

A knackered-looking Strat with a 7.25" radius and no vintage provenance.  £5k.

How much does a player-grade early CBS guitar go for these days?  Maybe I'm out of touch.

I can’t see how it adds anything but a nice story.

Exactly! Anything is worth what somebody is willing to pay for it , the seller just could get lucky.

Agree. It looks like it may have been living on the wall; let's hope he's not a smoker or lives on Pot Noodle.

Yes, to be precise, it adds the value of an eight year old magazine.

Due to the value of the item i am looking for a collection only or if necessary delivery options can be discussed after purchase.

Due to my perceived value of the item i am looking for a collection only or if necessary delivery options can be discussed after purchase so I can make you come and get it anyway.

Fixed.

Was it Daphne Blue with rosewood board? I remember it well, they said something like it was the best Strat they’d ever played!
