In 2001, the state of South Dakota had a special promotion in their state lottery in which approximately 115 Graffiti Yellow Strats were given away. There is this video of a tv commercial that apparently ran in South Dakota at the time - This can be viewed on YouTube. The commercial says 100 are to be given away, but i have reason to believe that it was 115.
These lottery Stratocasters were all made in Graffiti Yellow and were manufactured at the Fender Custom shop in Corona, California away from the regular production USA models at the time. There is evidence not all these guitars were given away in the lottery. For example, there is this summer of 2006 newsletter from the South Dakota lottery referring to a man winning a "leftover" lottery stratocaster at a Sioux Falls Canaries minor league hockey game. So 5 years after the lottery they were still handing them out.
Usual specs can be found here. The body is alder for good tone. The 25.5 inch scale maple neck features a 9.5 inch radius Maple fingerboard with 22 frets. A trio of American Standard single coils dish out tones from clean to mean. A 2 point trem offers smooth whammy action why sealed tuners keep it solid. It doesn't get much cooler than a Strat in a great color!
This is a good playing and sounding Strat. The neck is straight and the action is good on this one. The frets are full. The pickups sound great and everything works as it should. Condition wise, this has some very minor play. The finish is still intact with just the lightest evidence of play-wear. Comes with some case candy. Fine for a player and collector material given the rarity. Comes in a Fender hardshell case.
