Fender Custom Shop (CS) Stratocaster: Time Machine 59, aged Daphne Blue & heavy relic, from 2023. If you are looking at this listing you’re likely familiar with some of the unique specs of Fender CS guitars, and how they stand out above the rest.

In my opinion, this guitar has an excellent clean tone, with high chime, and “quacks” a bit more than the two other Strats I own, thanks to the hand-wound “Fat 50s” pickups. Together with these other strats (plus several others), I have too many guitars for my small home studio. That is the only reason I'm selling this amazing guitar. Every aspect of this guitar is in great condition and the aged appearance is of course that way (heavy relic) from the Fender Custom Shop. It's been kept it's entire life in a climate-controlled studio.

This Strat has the Robin Trower maple neck with larger headstock (which I prefer) and plays excellent. Weights around 7 lbs 10 oz. No issues. These guitars have increased in value over the last couple years & best purchased used since they can be very expensive! This one was $5,800. Comes with the retro hard case, Fender leather strap, custom shop folder & paperwork, bridge cover, whammy bar, etc.

Here's some info from Sweetwater:

Rocking a heavily relic'd nitrocellulose lacquer finish, the Fender Custom Shop 1959 Time Machine Heavy Relic Stratocaster looks, sounds, and plays like an original 1959 Strat that's been maintained in tip-top playing condition. The worn nitro finish feels comfortably broken in from day one, with a few spots of more intense wear providing the appearance of decades of regular use. Handcrafted by Fender's elite Custom Shop luthiers, this '59 Time Machine is spec'd with a trio of Fat '50s Strat single-coil pickups and Vintage Modified #2 wiring — your guarantee of killer tone.
