SOLD: Fender Custom Shop Ltd Edition 63 Strat, w. Hand-Wound Abby Ybarra Custom 65s. £1950

A truly fantastic strat, these were built as a limited Dealer Select run for Coda Music.

I'm in a slight dilemna, as I've already been offered £600 to sell the pickups separately - not only are they Abby Ybarra Hand-Wounds, they are the extremely rare Custom 65 set.

I could probably make more cash doing this, but my gut feeling is that since these are the pickups that came with the guitar, I should at least try to sell them together.

Other than that, it's just a great strat. Alder body, very dark chocolate brown rosewood fingerboard, 10.5" radius - and those pickups do indeed sound spectacular.

It's in great condition overall, no dings, a few light scratches. Comes in cream Fender Custom Shop Ltd Edition case, with certificate. Fender Custom Shop Ltd Edition decal on back of headstock too.

No trades please - this is a truly reluctant sale to raise funds quickly.

Will post, or can be collected from just outside Glasgow.

Pics to come in a minute!

Lovely.  As an aside where can i get a guitar strap with a pattern like that?

Souldier Straps. You can buy them off the shelf (Peach do them) or order on their website and design it yourself .My daughter designed that one for me .

Thanks for the strap link - I've just bought one !

I've got Abbys in my Masterbuilt, and they are the best pick ups Ive played in a Strat.

I have this guitar in sea foam green also  with Abby Custom 65s. Best sounding Strat ever - good luck with sale!
