2012 Fender Custom Shop 1960 NOS Stratocaster (SOLD)
SOLD
Look at this amazing 3 tone sunburst Stratocaster! It’s really hard to find such a perfect sunburst finish with dark rosewood fretboard etc…
It’s a 1960s Strat from the Time Machine Series with perfect specification. 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 (ash), the neck (maple) and the fretboard (Indian rosewood) timber are hand selected, premium quality pieces.
It’s a NOS (New Old Stock) guitar (so it’s not beaten up, it looks like a guitar that has spent the last 50 years in its case). It’s in MINT condition with one tiny little chip on the bottom edge but no dings, dents or buckle rush either. It’s a very looked after guitar.
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.
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.
It comes with an immaculate case, ALL THE CASE CANDY, CUSTOM SHOP CERTIFICATE, ash tray cover and an unused vintage leather custom shop strap.
The whole package is worth way over £2K easily nowadays! It was sold in 2012 for £2656 by GuitarGuitar. My price for this very near MINT guitar with OHSC, COA AND CANDY is £1600. SOLD
