Lovely CS Nocaster from 2000. Has the nice chunky U neck shape and vintage specs. It also has a JC stamp on the neck heel, which appears to be John Cruz’s - presumably he gave the neck a final check before it went out, but it’s a nice detail anyway! 

There's no CoA / Shop Floor Traveler, but I've emailed Fender with its serial number and got this reply:

"Here you go. This model actually has no Fender Custom Shop Floor Traveler as it was a standard Custom Shop production run. I have provided the full specs below for your records. Have a great day!

Everything is original; I have put some Rutters brass compensated saddles on it but the original saddles are in the case. 

Based in Canterbury, happy to meet a reasonable distance away. 

Cheers!
