For your consideration is this exceptionally rare 1997 Fender Custom Shop CopperCaster. Produced in a highly limited run of just 40 instruments, these guitars are seldom seen on the market and remain one of the more unique Custom Shop offerings from the era.

This example is in very good overall used condition, showing only light cosmetic wear consistent with careful ownership. There are a couple of small dings as shown in the photos, but nothing that affects playability or structural integrity. It presents very well and retains the distinctive visual appeal that makes the CopperCaster so sought after.

Tonally, the factory pickups deliver everything you’d expect from a high-end Custom Shop build — rich, articulate response with excellent clarity, sustain, and dynamic range. Whether played clean or driven, the guitar produces a lively, expressive voice suitable for a wide range of styles.

Playability is outstanding, with comfortable low action and only light fret wear. The neck feels smooth and fast, making this an inspiring instrument both in the studio and on stage.

Rare, collectible, and a fantastic player, this CopperCaster is a standout piece for any Fender enthusiast or serious guitarist looking for something truly uncommon.

Comes with the original tweed hard case, trem cover, and trem bar. (89)

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.
