The (dog?) Year of the Strat has come to an end...


Recommended Posts

I am spending too much lately, and this Sunburst just has me tickled pink, so:

---

I know I will regret this, but...

This is a 2007 '60 NOS Custom Shop Strat with the Wildwood 9.5" / 6105 treatment.

3TSB

Original case and all goodies.

Some of the best sounding Strat pickups I have ever heard.

I hesitate to say "mint," but it's as close as any guitar that has been played can probably get. It has been babied.

Recent pro setup.

8.02 pounds per the Wildwood spec sheet.

I don't know what else to say. This is just a fantastic Strat in every regard.

Many more pics in the slideshow here:

A couple to get you started:

Please let me know if you have any questions.

I would like to get $1650 shipped (the amount I have in it).

I would consider a Mesa Studio .22+ or other similar small combo in partial trade.

Thanks.

Drool! This is everything I like about the older Strats (namely, the trem and headstock) and everything I like about the new Strats (fretboard radius and larger frets). This would be an outstanding guitar.

The Year Of The Stratocaster isn't ending, it is just shifting elsewhere in the space-time continuum. B)

So... who had March 18th in the poll?

Gorgeous Strat, Mitch. If i didn't have my money tied up on something...

Ah, you know the rest...

Good luck on the sale!

Beautiful Strat! When you say Wildwood treatment, do you mean that they do the work after it comes from Fender or is it ordered that way from Fender?

Thanks,

David

They are ordered that way from Fender.

As I understand it, and I may be wrong (if anyone knows better feel free to jump in), there are three Fender retailers with enough buying power/sales/clout/something to be able to commission special runs from Fender. Those are Dave's, Wildwood and Music Machine.

In this case, the guitar is the '60 NOS Custom Shop Strat with a change from vintage radius and frets to the 9.5" and 6105s. For me, it's practically Strat perfection.

These CS 60s pickups are SO nice. This thing sounds as good as it looks to me.

They seem to run in the range of $2500 new I think. Wildwood has two for $2665, but they have flamed necks, which I assume is an upcharge over the plainer one mine has.

I forgot to mention that it has a 5-way switch installed (by Wildwood before delivery). The original 3-way is also still in the case, as well as the strap, cert, and all the other misc case stuff.

Watch out Feynman. I have a suspicion that 2010 might be the year of the tele. Not just any tele though.
