2008 Fender Masterbuilt Yuriy Shishkov Russian Stratocaster Flamed Maple

Here is one of the most beautiful Stratocasters you will ever see! This one was built by Master Luthier Yuriy Shishkov in 2008. As you know, Shishkov is widely regarded as the best luthier Fender has, and one of the best luthier's the world has ever known.

This guitar is 1 of 10 guitars built for the Russian market. They were built here in the USA and then shipped to Russia. They were only sold in Russia and so this one has been re-imported back here and is now being offered to you!

The guitar features some of the best maple you will ever find! The flame is insane!

The guitar includes the original hardshell case and original certificate of authenticity.
