1997 Fender® Custom Shop '60 Stratocaster® NOS Dakota Red, Near Mint, Hard, $2,599.00
Check out this seemingly unplayed John Page-era Custom Shop Stratocaster from 1997. This beauty has: an Alder body with a Dakota Red nitrocellulose lacquer finish and a total guitar weight of 7 pounds, 12 ounces (7.75 pounds); a lightly flamed Maple neck with large C-shape carve and depth mesurements of .850" at the first fret increasing to .990" at the 12th fret; a nice dark Indian Rosewood fretboard with 9.5" radius; 1.650" bone nut and 6105 fret wire; and for electronics, three Fender Texas Special single coils with VVT and five-way switching. Fender really took special care with these early Custom Shop builds. The build quality on this guitar is superb. It plays quite nicely and the Texas Specials kick butt! This guitar is in mint/near mint condition with virtually no play time; the protective film remains on the pickguard and rear cavity cover and the frets show zero wear. It comes with a brown Fender G&G case, the Certificate of Authenticity and all the accessories. A new Custom Shop NOS '60 Strat has a street price of approximately $3,600. Get this near new and arguably better 18 year-old example for $1K less.! A very nice Strat....
