SOLD: Fender CS 56 Heavy Relic Stratocaster Sea Foam Green.*£1850

AlexO

So once again my Carpel Tunnel Syndrome strikes  and another new guitar which I love must go

56 Heavy Relic Strat in a stunning Sea Foam Green with a V shaped maple neck. 50s custom shop pickups.

2014 model with mint case and COA and strap and case candy.

It's a really amazing strat and I'm pissed off it doesn't like my dodgy hands.  9.6 radius and modern jumbo frets.

£2,250 now reduced to £1850

Based in Manchester.

Cheers ,

Alex

Almost what I was looking for... I like the new seafoam green (more colourful than this one) over paisley or sunburst ...

So, you have problem because the neck is too small for your hands? I have the opposite problem hehe

No Small hands here too,  Certain necks just don't work for me. It's a bit russian roulette buying guitars at the moment because of it.

I've just received the shop floor traveller PDF from Fender so can also email that over if anyone needs further details.

I'm in Birmingham tonight and can take the guitar with me for any Midlanders wanting to trade or buy.

Thanks! 
Funny enough I received a Facebook message from another previous owner of this guitar offering me a trade for a Custom Shop Les Paul Special DC as he regretted letting this one go.

Still here and thanks for the trade offers so far. A CS 60s Strat is what I'm really looking for .

I've seen a guitar I want but would need a quick quick transaction 

Any offers ?
 
Or I can post for £22 but will need to be a bank transfer

What body wood is it?  Ash?

Exactly which pickups are in it?  Fat 50s?

It's ASH and super lightweight its lighter than my  Gibson 330 and pickups are the fat 50's .

Now on ebay.

Can't believe this guitar is still here.  I'll get a gold marker pen and write Abby on the pickups if it helps 

The best custom shop I've had this one, just need a guitar I can actually play for more than a minute. It's literately sat in its case in a guitar box ready to go.

That is amazingly light.
Someone should grab this..

Now just for sale at £1850. No trades now I'm afraid.
