Set up is spot on and there is no fret wear.
Condition wise it's immaculate apart from a small mark on body.
I'm really looking for trades or offers around £3k.
Comments
Has anyone actually played it? Looks completely untouched!
Yes, pretty much unplayed.
Absolute stunner, great sound and really easy to play the neck.

Might be worth taking your 5 frets to a different forum but thanks for your comment.
Original masterbuilt strat, unsoldered, all paperwork correct including the traveler.
So as per my post, they are Handsigned Abby Pups. She signed them.
A quick google and I do believe there are also a number of occasions where she also signed ab. But agree these could have been wound by an apprentice and then signed off personally by Abby.
Thought I would add the bio for Paul Waller - makes interesting reading and he's made guitars for some great people and bands.
PAUL WALLER
Paul Waller is a Southern California native with woodworking and luthiery in his blood. He built his first guitar at age 14 in his high school woodshop, joined a cabinet shop right out of high school and, after a stint at a small Southern California guitar maker, enrolled at the acclaimed Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery in Phoenix, from which he graduated in spring of 2000.
Waller joined Fender in 2003. He spent two years working closely with master arch-top craftsman Bob Benedetto, and became steeped in the many facets of building techniques from all the Custom Shop’s Master Builders. After an extensive seven-year apprenticeship, Waller became a Master Builder in 2010.
His Fender Custom Shop work includes bass guitars for U2’s Adam Clayton, a custom Thinline Telecaster for U2 vocalist Bono, Telecaster guitars for the Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards and co-work on a Stratocaster for fellow Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, Stratocaster guitars for Buddy Guy, the Nile Rodgers “Hitmaker” Stratocaster, and a custom double-neck Jazzmaster for Queens Of The Stone Age guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen.
