Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
At once old and new, this '56 Strat straddles the line perfectly! The figuring and snap issuing from this beautiful Birdseye Maple neck is both visually and tonally striking while setting off a host of more vintage-styled features.
SP Luthier Notes: Fret dress and setup
From Fender
Since 1987, the Fender Custom Shop has been a "dream factory," producing guitars that are to playing what Ferraris are to driving. The skilled craftsmen in Fender's Corona, Calif., Custom Shop are known worldwide for their artistry in making guitars that range from the fine to the fantastic. Whether it's building a new custom instrument from the ground up or modifying an existing one, their best is the best.
Fender Custom Shop instruments have been crafted for and with the input of the world's finest players-names like Clapton, Beck, Burton, Cray, Gilmour, Townshend and Vaughan, to name just a few. One could be yours.
