Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster 1958 Reissue Hardtail

Fender Custom Shop '58 Reissue Stratocaster Hard Tail.  This gorgeous sunburst instrument was a custom order built during the late '90's period of the Fender Custom Shop (Circa February 1998).  The custom shop guitars from this era are well known for their quality and craftsmanship.   

There is a ding on the edge of the neck socket of the body on the treble side.  It has been repaired and colored over but, on close inspection, it is visible.  I have included a close-up photo of the area.  This is the only reason I am not describing condition as excellent.  Other than this spot, there is only minimal surface swirling, a small impression on the lower bout and light finish lines from normal play and cleaning. 

This guitar has a beautiful birds eye maple neck, fretboard and headstock.  It features period correct late '50's C-shaped (chunky) neck, vintage Kluson style tuners, and a rare fixed bridge (hard tail).  There is virtually no fret wear.  The feel and tone are pure vintage and the sustain of this guitar is remarkable.  Recently professionally set up.  Just restrung with Rotosound Blue (10-52)

Includes C.O.A., all original case candy, vintage style bridge cover (unused), cord and vintage style strap (unused) It will be carefully packed shipped UPS insured with the original tan vintage style hard case which is also in excellent condition.
