Does this Strat exist?

Custom shop two tone (none of that red colour) 59 - 62 slab board rosewood neck

Med Jumbo frets

9.5 radius

nitro finish

thermionic

It will if you ask (and pay) the Custom Shop to build it.

That’s how it works, right?

I've got a 2-tone sunburst ash-bodied '62 Custom Shop Strat with those specs other than the board, which is round lam (which I prefer) rather than slab.

Brize baby..... how come you prefer?

It can be ordered - the nature of a Fender Custom Shop is to effectively build each guitar on such a basis - ie instead of building say 1000 Strats that are the same/similar, they'd rather build 1000 that are spec'd differently - e it neck profile, colour, pick-up option, wiring option, fingerboard radius, fret size and ageing process be it NOS, Relic etc

So it can be spec'd - If you can find one on any dealers wall to your exact spec'd then fine and probably some luck required - The more you have a detailed vision of your needs, set in stone, then the harder to find that exact spec on a dealers wall

No problem to have built - approx 6 months delivery and for now, without knowing a full spec sheet, then a guess-tim-ate is around £3k to 3.5k - Myself, Doug at Coda, John at Peach etc all do such orders, so we can all help etc if required

any questions just ask

This is very unscientific, but it sounds a bit more like a maple-boarded Strat but obviously with the feel of rosewood under the fingers. For me, that's the best of both worlds.

There was a ‘59 “Thinskin” AVRI Strat run done for the US a few years ago - Daves Guitar and one other big dealer iirc - that fits that spec exactly except for the fretwire - they had 6105. It was USA, not Custom Shop... Google can probably turn up more. 

A few have turned up on this side of the pond...

Does the guitar exist outside of the Custom Shop, other than the one above?
