This is a fender custom shop Stratocaster. I am the original owner and purchased it new around 2020 From Marks Guitar Exchange in San Diego. It has hand wound single coils with the initials LD on the bottom for Loretta Diaz. All relic-ing is from the factory.
The neck is a genuine Fender replacement neck. A few years ago a repair shop messed up the original neck and I had to get a new neck. I purchased a new Fender American Original 60s neck directly from Fender. I then had the guitar refretted with jescar 51100 and plekked. The work was done by 13th street guitar in Huntington Beach. Everything else is original. It plays extremely well and is very resonant. Ive never gigged this guitar and it has always been played only at home. Below is the spec sheet I got by emailing fender the serial number. The only obvious difference would be the neck
