A very unique and cool Strat! I believe this was built exclusively for the Music Zoo and sports some very hip appointments and player-centric features. Built in the Fender Custom Shop, the materials and quality are top notch. All of the specs conform to a real 1956 Strat save for some cool factory upgrades. The body is select alder for good tone. The 25.5 inch scale maple neck features a 9.5 inch radius maple fingerboard with 21 6105 frets. Check out the gorgeous flame maple on this example. A trio of Custom Shop 50s single coils deliver big tone. They are hooked to the original vintage correct 3 way switch. A vintage style trem and Kluson style tuners offer rock solid performance. The finish is a gorgeous Inca Silver (possibly Shoreline Gold. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.) lacquer set off with a cool aluminum pickguard. A very rare guitar. This is the first one I've ever had. Definitely one of the coolest Strats on the block!
This Strat has killer tone and feel. The 56 neck profile is comfortable to play, The action is good and the frets are fine. the pickups sound awesome and the electronics work as they should. This guitar was collector owned and well taken care of. It shows some light pick and clearcoat scratches as well as some light indents. Very nice looking. Comes in original case with cert and a pile of case candy.
If you dig the vintage vibe but want a cool color, this Strat is for you. A really cool space age look. You're sure to never see another. The closest thing I could find for sale was an Ice Blue 56 with similar specs priced at $3699. Save some big time cash on this one.
