Description

No sales tax for customers outside California.

This  2001 Fender Custom Shop 1956 Stratocaster NOS would be considered to be in mint condition, though it does show natural checking.

The guitar was purchased new and stashed.  It looks like nobody played it until we tested it out after our inspection and setup process.

This is an understated guitar, but a great utility or collector's piece.  No flash here, just function. 
 
The soft V neck is straight, the frets like new - it plays and feels perfect.  There are no changes, repairs, or issues.  The truss rod has room for future neck relief adjustment - checked to make sure you get a quality guitar without hidden issues.

Included in the original case is all the paperwork, the certificate of authenticity, strap and tremolo arm.
