2005 Fender Custom Shop 1960 Stratocaster (SOLD)

SOLD
Here is another great Custom Shop Stratocaster from Rolly’s Guitars. Look at the amazing 3 tone sunburst finish! It’s really hard to find such a nice 3ts finish with dark rosewood fretboard etc…

It’s a 1960s Strat from the Time Machine Series with a very high end specifications. The most important is the AMAZINGLY THIN nitro finish. It really gives a fantastic look and sound to the instrument. This guitar rings like a freakin’ bell. The pickups are hand-wired 60s pickups, the body (alder), the neck (maple) and the fretboard (Indian rosewood) timber are hand selected, premium quality pieces. The finish has some factory induced crazing to the nitrocellulose finish to replicate the look of nitrocellulose 50 years on. It’s NOT A RELIC’ED guitar (so it’s not beaten up, however it has a bit of ageing that gives a nice patina to the insrument), this treatment called Closet Classic, it’s very similar to the VOS treatment on Gibson guitars. Check the demo video below (don’t worry about the reflections on the guitar, those are just fingerprints as I said the guitar is in near mint condition)

As you would expect from the Fender Custom Shop, build quality is superb. Staggered pole pickups, pat pending saddles, small headstock, Kluson tuners, all iconic for this model.

It comes fitted with a factory provided 5 way switch (more convenient) but has a 3 way switch in the case, should you wish to have the totally authentic vibe.

The playability, action and comfort are second to none. It plays like butter.

The tone is classic, great out of phase sound, and plenty of sustain. The guitar is also light as they were in this period. All in all a fabulous guitar which definitely has the 60’s vibe.

It comes with an immaculate tweed case, ALL THE CASE CANDY, CUSTOM SHOP CERTIFICATE, ash tray cover and an unused vintage leather strap.

The whole package is worth way over £2K easily nowadays! My price for this near MINT guitar with OHSC, COA AND CANDY is £1750. SOLD
