Presented for your consideration is a 2000 Fender Custom Shop ’56 Stratocaster finished in a stunning Sunburst. This instrument has aged gracefully and remains in very good condition, showing only light to moderate signs of honest play wear consistent with its age. Equipped with its original factory pickups, this Strat delivers the classic vintage warmth, clarity, and articulation players expect, while still offering plenty of bite and punch when pushed — equally at home with blues, classic rock, and higher-gain tones. Playability is outstanding, featuring comfortable low action and a neck that feels smooth and broken-in. The frets show no wear, making this an exceptional player as well as a highly desirable Custom Shop piece.

Please note there is a small cosmetic chip near the neck pocket, as shown in the photos. This does not affect performance.

A fantastic example of Fender Custom Shop craftsmanship.

Comes with an original case, COA and case candy shown. (70)

Weight: 7lb 6oz | Nut: W 1.67 H .87 | 12th: W 2.02 H 0.97

Condition, Shipping, & Setup Details:

I specialize in selling pre-owned guitars, which typically show signs of regular use. My commitment to quality is unwavering, and I ensure that any guitar I offer for sale is free from problems, unless explicitly mentioned. With a history of selling guitars dating back to the 1980s, I pride myself on selecting only the finest instruments.

It's important to understand that our shipping fees encompass more than just the cost of the box. I guarantee professional packaging using UPS-approved materials to safeguard your purchase. This typically includes new, heavy-duty boxes rated at 275lbs, 3-inch wide brown fiberglass reinforced tape, ensuring the guitar is well-protected. Additionally, every guitar shipped is fully insured for its sale price.

The guitars are set up according to my personal preferences (Medium Height), and I strictly avoid guitars with neck issues. However, guitar setup is highly subjective, and it is advisable to have it adjusted by a trusted local technician who understands your specific playstyle and preferences.
