2017 Fender Custom Shop Postmodern Stratocaster Lush Closet Classic (SOLD)

SOLD
Look at that amazing finish: Firemist Gold with very very light (lush) closet classic ageing…For me this was the first thing I’ve noticed when I opened the case! This is the latest magic from Fender Custom Shop! A new ageing process that makes the guitar a bit older looking but there’s nothing dramatic here. Just nuances here and there…it’s really hard to photograph but you get the nice nitro-cellulose ageing. Pop in and check it out! You will be amazed!

This is what the guys at the Custom Shop say about this beauty:

A distinctively modern take on a legendary classic, the Lush Closet Classic Postmodern Strat delivers original-era Strat sound, with some modern player-oriented upgrades. The two-piece select alder body wears a Lush Closet Classic finish, simulating the look of a guitar that’s been cherished and aged like a fine wine.

The trio of hand-wound Dual-Mag Custom Shop Stratocaster pickups includes a reverse-wound, reverse-polarity middle pickup to reduce hum—kicking out the rich, clear tone that made the Strat a legend when it first hit the stage in 1954. The Fat ‘50s wiring reduces treble loss when rolling the volume back while allowing the controls to react smoothly and evenly, without the typical “hot spots”.

Other premium features include a quartersawn AA flame maple neck with ’63 Strat “C”-shaped profile, 9.5”-12” compound-radius AAA rosewood or AA birdseye maple round-lam fingerboard, 21 6105 frets, RSD Stratocaster bridge, vintage-style tuning machines with Fender logo and a bone nut. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and Certificate of Authenticity.

This is literally a new guitar! There is not marks on it (apart from the small “factory fitted” ones) and absolute zero fret wear etc…case and candy are in new condition too! However the tremolo arm is missing (you can buy one on eBay for not more than £20)

RRP £2800++ new if you can find one. This one’s IMMACULATE in the box for £2000 SOLD
