This is a killer Custom Shop Strat spec and one that gets a lot right for players who want vintage feel without giving up a more muscular playing experience. The aged vintage white over 3-tone sunburst finish looks fantastic, especially with the heavy relic treatment showing the burst underneath in all the right places. It has loads of character and feels much more interesting than a straight solid-colour relic. Spec-wise, the 5/4 rift sawn maple neck is a big plus, and the 60 Style Oval "C" carve should suit a lot of hands. I also really like the flat-lam AAA rosewood board here, which gives it a more authentic early-'60s feel, while the 9.5" radius and jumbo 6100 frets make it far more forgiving and player-friendly than a strict vintage reissue. The hand-wound Texas Specials are a cool choice too — a bit hotter, punchier and more aggressive than a more traditional low-output set, so this should be a Strat that still has sparkle but also pushes an amp nicely when you lean into it.

Excellent condition. Factory heavy relic ageing as per the original Custom Shop spec. Aside from the intentional ageing, it presents very well overall with only light signs of handling and use.
