Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster 1955 TCP HSS Floyd Rose

A devil in disguise… it might be the color (“Plum”!), or perhaps the (by now almost unfamiliar) very subtle TCP aging—at first glance, this Strat looks as innocent as a lamb. On closer inspection, however, you might spot a few details that cast doubt on that initial impression: a recessed Floyd Rose, roasted rift-sawn maple neck, 12” radius, 22 frets, Bi-Flex truss rod, and a humbucker in bridge position—when called upon, this Strat is a ruthless rocker! The Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro APH-1 remains a revelation time and again. It handles everything from clean tones to heavy distortion with equal excellence, always remaining defined, open sounding, and cutting through. Here and now, it fits absolutely perfectly!
Additional Notes: Contoured Neck Heel, Recessed Floyd Rose, Route for HB in Bridge Position, Nickle Cover on Humbucker, NOS Flash Coat Lac - No Buff
