Description

*This is a used guitar in very good condition
*This is a consignment item
*Includes original hard shell case, bridge cover, strap and COA

*Observations: This lovely Custom Shop Strat from 2006 is in very good condition, especially for a nearly 20 year-old instrument. There have been a few upgrades made to it over the years, including a Seymour Duncan Hot for Strat SSL-3 bridge pickup, Callaham trem springs, a CRL 5-way switch, CTS 450G audio taper pots, and a 920D Custom .022 oil-filled capacitor. A Tortoise pickguard with a separate 1960’s style aluminum shield plate has replaced the original parchment guard and the knobs, pickup covers and switch tip have been swapped for Fender aged creme pickup covers, knobs, and switch tip. The original bridge pickup and springs are included. 

The guitar was refretted with Jescar 51100 stainless steel frets and set up by respected Austin luthier Chris Forshage. There is an Aperio Guitar neck shim placed in neck pocket of the guitar, unglued. Perfectly CNC cut, shaped to the neck pocket and perfectly flat, it raises the neck .040 higher so strings are higher at the bridge. This allows raising the saddles to prevent adjustment screws from sticking out, and adds height between strings and magnet poles. It can easily be removed if desired. 

The playability is fantastic, the electronics work well and sound terrific, and with its well-thought out upgrades, this an exciting Custom Shop Strat more than ready for another 20 years of action!
