weighs 7lbs 6 oz. thanks vlmc

This exceptional 50th Anniversary ’54 Stratocaster is one of only 1,954 produced and was Masterbuilt by Yuriy Shishkov, one of the Fender Custom Shop’s most respected builders. It has been freshly restrung with .09s and set up with low, comfortable action, delivering outstanding playability and that unmistakable early‑Strat feel.

The instrument is crafted as an extremely faithful recreation of an original 1954 Stratocaster, from its tone and neck profile to its period‑correct hardware and finish.

Condition

The finish has been tastefully relic’d by the Custom Shop, featuring:

• Subtle finish checking on the body
• Light pitting on the chrome hardware
• Minor belt rash on the back

In addition, there are a few non‑factory dings on the back of the body. Overall, the guitar presents beautifully and remains structurally and functionally excellent. Please review all photos for the most accurate representation of condition.

This Masterbuilt Strat comes complete with:

• Original hardshell case
• Strap
• Cable
• Hangtags
• Bridge cover
• Tremolo arm
• Certificate of Authenticity (COA)

A fantastic opportunity to own a Shishkov‑built tribute to the very first year of the Stratocaster.
