Overview

Here is a beautiful example of the much sought-after Fender 2004 Custom Shop Masterbuilt Limited Release 50th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster. This one has been crafted by the one and only Dennis Galuszka.

Finished in a 2-Color Sunburst, the guitar and parts have been given the "Closet Classic" ageing treatment, resulting in a guitar that shows some tasteful lacquer checking and looks like it's been played only a handful of times each year, then put away. 

This guitar has come from one of the UK's finest collections. It is in excellent condition throughout, with extremely limited signs of any prior play. This guitar has seen minimal use, as evidenced by the frets, which are in immaculate condition. The hole on the bridge for the tremolo arm still has the sticker over it from when it was new.

Apart from some light patina in the lacquer, the only mark on the guitar is on the treble-side cutaway near the neck pocket - some of the lacquer on the edge of the neck pocket has flaked off and has been touched in. This is not obvious unless you're specifically looking for it; please see it highlighted in the final gallery photo.

Please see the model specifications below, or get in touch for more information!

The weight of this guitar is 3.41kg (7.52lbs). Please see the photos for all the included case candy.

The original "Poodle" hardshell case is included. This is in generally excellent condition with just a few light scuffs/marks from storage.

This Masterbuilt Strat has come from one of the UK's very finest collections; as such, the case has been numbered "214" in marker pen on the front spine towards the left-most latch. 

Shipping information is available below. This Masterbuilt Limited Release '54 Strat is feature-packed - if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
