SOLD Fender Custom Shop Post Modern Stratocaster in Aged Black

Dumodal

I am selling my Custom Shop Post Modern Stratocaster in excellent condition, this is Fender concept of a Vintage Strat meets Modern times, it has a compound Neck Radius 9.5-12, cutaway access on the neck joint, 59' D shape Neck, and the Gilmour wiring on the second tone pot which blends the neck pickup in when engaged on the bridge or bridge/middle to a plethora of sound options.

The Pickups are Hand-wound Dual Mag II, which gives more beefiness to the sound without losing clarity, the bridge pickup retains more body so it takes overdrives better without sounding nasal. 

The guitar comes with everything, COA, Floor Shop Traveler, Dunlop Strap-lock system (Already installed from the factory but can be used without the lock mechanism too), and Fender leather strap.

The finish is Journeyman Relic which has some dings, swirls, and cracking that came from the factory, and clay dot inlays which are now hard to find in custom shop models.

The Strat was recently set up with StringJoy 9-42 with the Tremolo decked as I prefer it like that but of course, you can change it later if you wish, I use only 4 springs but all 5 are included.

It's a beast of a Stratocaster, super comfortable, and with a 7.6 lbs weight makes it super light too.

I am pricing it at £2550 for the Freatboard friends, Guitar4music is selling one brand new for £4.1k so I think its a fair price, but let me know your thoughts.

Collection from Kingston upon Thames but postage can be arranged need to look into prices as insurance is added.

I'm not looking for trades, as something caught my eye and the funding is needed

I had an almost identically specced CS Start, but in Sage Green. It's a great spec, and the pickups are truly excellent, though you never really hear them talked about as much as the likes of the Fat 50s, Poblanos etc.

Thank you guys, it is definitely a nice guitar hope it goes to a nice home, just played it last night and wow.

For the people who asked me about the neck, it's not a chunky neck, it is thin around the nut then becomes like a medium profile around the 10th but because it's a D shape it doesn't have the same shoulder as a C so it doesn't feel chunky also the compound radius gives you the sensation of a fast neck.

That's really nice. If I needed another strat I'd be in your PMs already!
