FS/FT 2022 Fender Custom Shop Heavy Relic Ash 1955 Strat - Black/Maple HSS 22 Jumbo Frets

Zapple

2022 Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster HSS Black / Maple - Custom Specification: £3200 - £2,899 

Bought new as a custom order from Coda in Late 2022. This is a lovely playing and sounding hot rodded Strat. Weighs 7lbs 8oz. Set-up on 10-46s.  In between ordering this and receiving it (about 18 months), I picked up a Floyd Rose Strat which has become my main guitar and this doesn't get much of a look in. Hardly played so needs a good home and to be played more. Peach have a few at similar specification at over 5K now.

Any questions, please drop me a line. Collection from Cambridge/Newmarket area (CB8). Delivery for fuel within 50 miles a possibility - happy chat about shipping options.

That looks absolutely immense.  I've just ripped up my draft NY resolution list and am feverishly checking under the sofa cushions.

GLWTS.

Thanks @Offset! It's a lovely guitar. The necks on these Luxxtones are amazing! Did you find anything under the sofa cushions??? ;-)

Two thoroughly lovely guitars.

I was sorely tempted by the Luxxtone last time it was for sale on here but that Strat, WOW, the best looking and most perfectly spec'd CS Strat (for my tastes) I've ever seen.

I'd have one or both of them off you if I had a need for them, but I don't right now sadly.  Some lucky buyer is in for a treat with either of these though so best of luck with the sales, not that I think you'll need it.

Zapple

@StefB thanks mate! Yeah they are both lovely guitars.

The Black Strat was my dream spec too - turns out my actual dream spec has a top loaded Floyd on it! Funny how things workout. It is an absolutely killer playing and sounding guitar though.

Hopefully they'll go to good homes soon!

That Strat hurts my head - it’s amazing

I’ve owned that luxxtone and it’s a great guitar, pro build quality and real easy to play.

Zapple

Thanks @jb777 yeah it's a cracker!

That strat is lovely! I have a black heavy relic with rosewood,  but mine has a black HB and vintage bridge.

If I had spare cash I'd be adding this one too!

Zapple

Thanks @newi123, sounds like they’d make a great pair together  ;-)
