This one-of-a-kind guitar weighs just 7.50 lbs. and has a comfortable nut width of just over 1 /916 inches, a thick neck profile and a scale length of 25 1/2 inches. One-piece ash body. One-piece highly flamed maple neck with 21 thin ('54 style) frets. Headstock with "Fender®" inlaid in 18k gold and at the ball end, an engraved gold "Harness Racer" - most probably hand-crafted by George Amicay. Gold-plated four-bolt neck-plate which is engraved "Custom Built / For / Cathy Parker / 1997". Three gold covered Fender® Lace Sensor pickups. All of the hardware is gold-plated and this amazing guitar is in mint (9.50) condition. Complete with the original Fender® Custom Shop Certificate of Authenticity which is signed by John English and a hand-written letter from Cathy S. Parker. Housed in the original G® & G® black hardshell case with black black leather ends (9.50).
