One of the nicest Strats I've had the pleasure of playing. An awesome Fender USA select HSS exotic with AAA maple top in stunning Bing Cherry Burst. This series was at that time a half of step under Custom Shop series, above Deluxe and others. The guitar is in good condition, the frets are like new. Never left my house, played like 2 hours/year (well I played mostly LP-styled guitars and superstrats) ... now it's time to make space for some other guitars in my collection.
These were made for a limited time in 2014, 300 pieces. The flame maple is finished in an ultra thin nitro-lacquer which makes it incredibly resonant even acoustically. The body is beautiful lightweight selected alder.
The real standout feature however is the solid rosewood neck, with a 'channel-bound' birds-eye maple fingerboard.
