Fender Custom Shop Vintage Series 1954 Stratocaster - 1994 - Aztec Gold

An exceptional example of a superb high quality build, a very rare find! Hailing from the Vintage Series, this instrument takes you back to an incredible time for Fender, the very first year of the Stratocaster. This is an incredible instrument and as far as Stratocaster's go, they don't get much better than this. 
 
Featuring a Ash body in a beautiful Aztec Gold finish, the presentation of this guitar is exceptional. The neck is stunning; a highly flamed maple with a soft “V” profile, it feels excellent. 9.5” radius with a 42mm nut width. 50s Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster Pickups sound excellent.
 
The back plate has been removed, but it is still included along with the original screws. The original white pick-guard has also been replaced with a gold pearloid alternative to match the flashy aesthetic of this instrument; the original is included and in the case. 
 
Some pitting in the finish on the bottom of the body and little black spots next to the strap button. 2 chips to the finish on the back of the body. One located on the bottom right corner, one on the left to where the back plate used to be located. Moderate fretware specifically on the 4-8th frets predominately on the G and B strings.
 
With a non-original hardshell case. Comes with case candy: tremolo arm, extra tremolo springs, ashtray bridge cover, original back plate+screws, original pick-guard, swing tag, and two cleaning cloths. 
 
Great weight at 3.55 kgs. It’s a very exceptional guitar and as far as we can tell, a vintage series in this colour and year makes this guitar a very special piece.
