Up for sale is an absolutely stunning 2017 Fender Custom Shop NAMM Limited Edition ’55 Stratocaster Jr. in Aged Black. This is a true collector’s piece built for the NAMM show, complete with full documentation including the original Certificate of Authenticity, detailed build sheet, and engraved neck plate.

This guitar is in excellent, barely used condition — I’ve played it very lightly and it remains in near-mint shape with no major wear, dings, or scratches. The nitro lacquer Journeyman Relic finish has developed a beautiful, authentic vintage look while staying fully protected. All hardware, electronics, and relic details are crisp and original.

Playability is outstanding. The hand-shaped maple neck has an unbeatable, broken-in feel — smooth, fast, and incredibly comfortable with that perfect ’57-style soft V profile. It plays like a dream up and down the fretboard with excellent setup, low action, and spot-on intonation right out of the case. The hand-wound ’55 Strat pickups deliver classic bell-like chime, punchy mids, and singing leads with all the vintage-inspired sparkle and growl you’d expect from a Custom Shop instrument.
