Deering 600-S Stratocaster Style 1990-1992 Cream

Very rare Hand Crafted Deering 600-S Stratocaster Style made in the early eighties before switching solely to banjo production only. John Deering states in a letter from him in picture #4 above that he only produced about 20 electric guitars of which only 3-4 were this model, making it an extremely rare find in excellent condition for a collector, historian, or player. It is a beautiful cream color with contrasting light tan plastic pick guard and back access panel. Nice cutaway style to hug this close when playing.
I would say this  made in the USA guitar is as good as any Fender Strat made in any decade or country.
This may be my favorite guitar in my collection and it will ship with a perfectly fitted SHB hard shell case.

For example, Marcus Mumford and Steve Martin play banjos made by Deering. He originally played an Eagle but has transitioned to various instruments including a signature model that bears his name.
