2011 Fender® Custom Shop '60 Stratocaster® Closet Classic Modern Specs Fiesta Red, Excellent, Original Hard, $2,399.00
It should be no surprise that I get to play a LOT of Strat-style guitars in my line of work. As Fender Custom Shop Stratocasters go, the guitar offered here is what I call a "10 Percenter." To translate, this means that in my humble opinion, only 1 in 10 Strats are as good as this guitar. This 2011 Fiesta Red '60 Strat was pro-owned and maintained and you know it as soon as you pick it up and play the first few notes. This guitar has a large C-shaped neck with a 9.5" freboard radius and depth measurements of .875" at the first fret increasing to .950" at the twelfth and it feels perfect. The weight is near perfect too, coming in at just under 7 pounds, five ounces (7.3 pounds). The pickups are Custom Shop 60's and they sound terrific - not overwound, but not weak either and nicely balanced. As good as this guitar might have been "off the rack," it has received new 6150 Jescar fret wire, a computerized Plek fret leveling and an unbleached bone nut in place of the stock setup. All the work was done by highly respected Baltimore luthier Phil Jacoby (Philtone Guitar Company and formerly with PRS) at a cost of what must have been at least $400 - $500. While essentially invisible to all but an expert eye, this work resulted in one of the best setups you will find anywhere (again IMHO). As a Closet Classic model this guitar received only light factory aging of the body and hardware. The neck was ordered without any aging. You can tell that this guitar was cherished by the original owner. It comes with it's original brown G&G case, the Certificate of Authenticity, build sheet, trem arm, bridge cover, cable, hang tags, etc. If you have been looking for a terrific Fender CS Strat to come along at a decent price, grab this one. I'm quite sure you will be very, very glad you did!
