This is a 2018 Fender Custom Shop Designed 50's Classic Players Strat. It is in AS NEW condition, and still has the plastic on the pickguard & back plate. Purchased as a collection piece.
The guitar is flawless, top to bottom, and is just as it came from the factory.
Neck is 9.5 radius solid maple (with zero dark streaks anywhere), Gotoh vintage locking tuners, soft 'V' back, medium jumbo frets, and truss rod adjustment at heel of neck (vintage).
The body is 2-piece center seamed light weight select alder with exacting 50's contours and routed S/S/S . It has the 2-point trem system with vintage steel saddles.
Comes from the factory with Fender's American made 57/62 pickups, (the same used in the original American Vintage Series 57 & 62 Strats.)
