Personal Thoughts:
An outrageous Strat with plenty of personality. The Graffiti Yellow finish isn’t for the faint of heart—but if you want to be noticed on stage, this will do it. The Floyd Rose is a rare sight on a Custom Shop Fender and makes this Strat feel like a proper shred machine with vintage attitude.
Playability-wise, it’s a dream. The jumbo 6100 frets and 10” radius make bends effortless and clean, and the neck carve hits the sweet spot—meaty without being clunky. The combo of the DiMarzio Tone Zone in the bridge with the handwound Fat 60s in the neck and middle gives you a ton of tonal flexibility. You get thick humbucker aggression on the bridge and chimey strat quack from the others.
It’s a weird mix on paper—vintage relic finish, modern electronics, Floyd Rose—but in practice, it’s ridiculously fun.
Condition Report:
Excellent condition overall. Any wear you see is intentional from the factory’s heavy relic process. No additional dings or damage outside of spec. The frets are clean, hardware is solid, and the Floyd Rose is properly set up and smooth to use. Plays and presents as intended—like a worn-in workhorse with attitude.
