Description
Introducing the Fender Custom Shop 60s Stratocaster NOS, manufactured in 2005.
This instrument belongs to the Time Machine Series, a Fender Custom Shop lineup developed to recreate the distinctive characteristics of vintage Fender guitars from different eras.
This particular model features the NOS (New Old Stock) finish treatment.
Unlike the heavily aged Relic models, the NOS specification was designed to capture the appearance of a vintage-style instrument that had been carefully stored in unused condition.
It offers the classic appearance of a 1960s Stratocaster without the extensive artificial wear associated with aged finishes.
The guitar features a beautiful Daphne Blue finish, paired with a rosewood fingerboard.
This classic Fender color gives the instrument a distinctive vintage appearance, while the darker rosewood fingerboard provides an attractive contrast.
Another notable feature of this particular example is the natural figuring visible in the maple neck.
The wood grain adds a subtle visual detail that distinguishes this instrument from other examples of the same model.
The combination of Daphne Blue, rosewood, and figured maple creates an elegant appearance that reflects the craftsmanship associated with Fender Custom Shop instruments.
The guitar features a maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, bolt-on neck construction, and 21 frets.
It is equipped with three single-coil pickups in a traditional SSS configuration.
The controls consist of one master volume, two tone controls, and a three-way pickup selector.
The three-way selector is a particularly interesting detail, reflecting the specifications of original 1960s Stratocasters before five-way switching became standard.
Rather than simply reproducing the appearance of a vintage instrument, the Time Machine Series incorporates period-inspired specifications that contribute to its traditional character.
One of the strongest features of this particular example is its excellent cosmetic condition.
Despite having been manufactured in 2005, the guitar remains remarkably clean.
There are some minor surface scuffs, but very few noticeable scratches or dents.
The overall appearance remains consistent with the clean, vintage-inspired character intended by the NOS specification.
Approximately 80% of the frets remain.
The guitar weighs 3.74kg.
Another important point is the selection of included accessories.
The instrument comes with its original Fender Custom Shop hard case, tremolo arm, bridge cover, manufacturer's shipping certificate, and documentation from the Japanese distributor.
These accessories are particularly valuable for buyers who appreciate a Custom Shop instrument accompanied by its original case and documentation.
With its 2005 production date, Time Machine Series background, Daphne Blue finish, figured maple neck, and excellent cosmetic condition, this is an attractive example of a Fender Custom Shop vintage-style Stratocaster.
For players and collectors looking for an early-2000s Custom Shop Stratocaster with traditional 1960s styling and a clean NOS appearance, this instrument is well worth considering.
As this is a used instrument, there may be additional minor scratches or signs of wear that are not fully visible in the photos. If you would like to inspect any specific areas or need more details about its condition, please feel free to contact us. Additional photos are available upon request.
