PLEASE MESSAGE ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR FOR A BETTER PRICE! Only selling for a reason otherwise I wouldn’t let this go. It’s 1 of those very special guitars.

This is the same guitar that sold a couple years ago for $10,000 thru here on Reverb. It was then sold privately for $15,000+. The candy apple red 57 reissue is an absolutely amazing, beautiful, and very rare guitar!! It comes with the original case candy including the 57 reissue booklet! Everything about this guitar is all original except the pickups being changed and the 5 way selector!

Fender Stratocaster V57 Candy Apple Red with David Gilmour's SA EMG pickups (1984)(Serial number

V007038)

The vintage reissues that starting to appear in late 1982, although not fully realized and distributed until late 1983.

The line ran up to 1985, when CBS pulled out of Fender.

The vintage reissue project became the forerunner to the later Fender Custom Shop.

The guitars is faithful to the originals, with original body and neck contours, nitro lacquer and vintage style hardware and pickups. The only obvious upgrade on the Stratocaster, was the 5-way pickup selector (as it happens with David's original). According to project manager Dan Smith, the reason for making 57 Strat's and not 54 or 56, was basically because 57 seemed to have been a defining year in American art and pop culture. The pickups were changed to David Gilmour SA EMG pickups.

The guitar correspond to the SAME series bought by Pink Floyd's guitarist, Mr. David Gilmour. (Date 29/Oct/1984)

(I did a little research and found out this guitar was made around the same time as Gilmour's " White v57 Strat"

Excellent Condition. This is a extremely RARE Guitar with the Candy Apple Red on top and Gold Paint underneath from Factory. The 7.25" neck is absolutely perfect and can show why these are so highly desired! This is a FULLERTON STRAT ( some of the best to ever come out from Fender) THE 85-86 CORONA STRATS DO NOT COMPARE.
