This is a very special Yamano Custom Shop Strat with all documentation. 

2005 Fender Custom Shop '56 Stratocaster NOS in White Blonde with gold hardware. The Mary Kaye spec, and not because I say so: "56 STRAT NOS WBL/GH" is printed right on the original factory paperwork. The only thing that isn’t original on this guitar are the frets, which have been upgraded to what I believe is stainless steel. They are in perfect condition. 

Ash body, one-piece maple neck with a '56 V profile, and a set of pickups that are sweet and glassy with that classic '50s snap. Blonde ash, maple, and gold is about as iconic as a Strat gets.

This one was built in Corona for Yamano Gakki, Fender's longtime partner in Japan, and it still has the original Yamano warranty card and registration card, both unfilled and in their sleeves. R-prefix Custom Shop serial R19485, matching the CoA.

Twenty years of real nitro checking on the finish. Not a relic job, just a NOS guitar that aged the way the originals did, and you can't fake that look.
