Hi there,
I have for sale a MINT condition Fender Custom Shop Custom Deluxe Strat bought locally recently. This is a Custom Shop model, not a standard production. The CS quality is much better than a standard production and sounds way better. This is a 2012 model but I bought it in June 2014. Very premium appointments for the asking price.

You can't get Abby handwound pickups directly anymore as she has retired and Abigail Ybarra is a highly respected pickup winder. Her pickups are highly sought after and will only rise in value. Quilted Maple top and Flame Maple neck are obviously upcharges if you were to order one and the 2014 Custom Deluxe are satin finished, which doesn't bring out the quilt as well. Ash body is also an upcharge for the Fender CS. Overall, an extremely value for money, great sounding and great playing Strat. Will come with OHSC, COA and the case candy.
Selling price will be $3500. SMS me at 97313911 if you're keen. I will be interested in trades with P90 equipped guitars, Gibson Les Paul or hollowbody.
