Just arrived and it’s in mint condition!

Incredible Charcoal Frost (One of Fender rarest custom colours from the sixties) Only one  Fender Strat in original Charcoal Frost ever surfaced in Australia, it was a 1961 and was eventually refinished 🙁

This amazing guitar was a special Build Limited Edition for a Custom Shop Showcase. The regular versions of this build were Journeyman Relics. This one was a Relic aged finish. Delightful sounding hand-wound pickups. Added Fender Custom Shop Gold Guard for zing and effect. Original guard and shielding is in the “mint unused case”!!! All original books, tags, traveller, etc. Great playing and sounding Stratocaster.

Fender’s shrine to the heritage and legacy of those pioneers who made us what we are today. The Fender Custom Shop reached new heights of craftsmanship with its acclaimed Time Machine series—artfully “relic-ed” guitars and basses that revolutionised the entire concept of “reissue” instruments. The Custom Shop has since ventured even higher by crafting meticulous replicas “using the same techniques and tooling used to create the originals” all those years ago.
