1999 Fender Custom Shop 60s Stratocaster Sunburst (SOLD)

SOLD
1999 Fender Custom Shop 1960 Reissue Stratocaster. It’s from the early Time Machine Series which is considered one of the best ranges Fender Custom Shop ever produced! The number of guitar they produced at the early stages were much lower than nowadays. Even the most critical Fender forums state that these are fantastic instruments! It’s not easy to find these Time Machine Series guitars, especially in sunburst colour…The exact specifications are below. Cunetto era (below R5000 serial)

This guitar has been played and exhibits natural relic wear throughout the instrument. There are small nicks and marks throughout the guitar, all these make the guitar LOOK FANTASTIC!!! It’s a naturally relic’ed 🙂 There is a reason this guitar was played, its hands down one of the best sounding strats I have ever picked up. This guitar rings like a freaking bell. Seriously, straight out of the case it just RINGS for days. The bridge is blocked down by its original springs (these early tremolo designs with the vintage style tuners are completely useless but SOUND FANTASTIC when it’s blocked down) CHECK THE DEMO VIDEO BELOW!

The tone of this Stratocaster is really inspiring, it has a great shimmering top end that is not too bright. The midrange is focused and balanced and the bass response perfectly compliments the spectrum. The best thing about this guitar is how balanced the pickups are. The bridge pickup is not weak at all and really cuts through the mix. Guitar comes with everything shown including COA and OHSC.

Don’t miss this opportunity to get an INCREDIBLE sounding Fender Custom Shop Strat at a great price: £1500 SOLD
