Personal Thoughts:
This is a special piece of Custom Shop history—one of a limited batch commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Fender Custom Shop. What makes this one stand out is the use of handwound Abigail Ybarra pickups in the neck and middle, offering classic vintage Strat tones with sparkle and depth. The Texas Special in the bridge gives it just the right amount of bite for blues or driven tones.
Playability is a dream thanks to the 9.5" radius, smooth rosewood board, and Sanko 6105 frets. The maple neck has that beautiful rounded 66 profile feel, giving it plenty of comfort whether you're riffing or bending into oblivion.
 
Condition Report:
Very good condition overall. Light finish flaking visible near the neck joint—common for Closet Classic nitro finishes—but otherwise no structural issues. Frets show only light use. A real player's piece with collector provenance.
