Fender Custom Shop 56 Strat Relic Ltd Edition

Here we have in stock ready to ship today a Brand new, Fender USA Custom Shop 56 Strat Relic Limited Edition in Sonic Blue complete with Fender Custom Shop hard case and accessories. One of only 100 worldwide !

This guitar is a pukka A1 new example, not a chinese copy, grey import or dodgy back door sale. So ? I say that because although we are official FENDER EUROPEAN AWARD WINNING main dealers I can't vouch for other internet dealers or ones you see on ebay.
