Fender Special Standard Stratocaster Partscaster Candy Apple Red with Custom Shop Texas Specials

Fender Special Standard Partscaster with many upgrades. Candy Apple Red, Mexico-made Alder solid body electric is in excellent condition. Custom Shop Texas Special pickups. Blender mod.

Many player upgrades: Complete copper shielding and grounding. CTS 300K pots for Vol and Tone.  CTS 500K Blender Pot set up with Fralin Blender Mod to blend Neck and Bridge at 1, 2, 4 and 5 positions (similar to Gilmour switch for rich leads). Mighty Mite maple neck with Fender tuners. Milled steel (heavy) block. Callaham saddles. Tusq nut. Large strap buttons. Roller string tree. Stands up to American made higher end instruments. Parted out cost is well over $1000 not including shielding, setup, special electronics… I like to build and but need to make some room.

Condition: Excellent. Very clean, a few small (unnoticeable) dings (see pics).
