Hi everybody!

First time poster here so excuse me if this has been covered before (I did have a quick search of topics but nothing jumped out at me!).

I’ve recently bought a new (built 2016) NOS 61 Strat which I completely adore. However, I don’t seem to be able to find any more recent examples? Did the CS stop making these? Such a shame if that’s the case. It’s a sensational guitar.

Thanks in advance guys.

It could be the CS manager has a dartboard in his office with all of the target sectors redesignated as "54", "55", "56", etc and whenever he feels inspired he tosses a dart, notes, the "impact zone", then lets the builders know what guitar(s) they'll be replicating on their next production run.

:mrgreen:
Honestly, there's probably more logic to it than that but I have no idea of the specifics -- likely they may be determined by orders from the major retail distributors (Sweetwater, Sam Ash, GC, etc).

I have a gorgeous 1960 Time Machine Closet Classic from 2014 that's just amazing. Lightweight (just under 7½ lbs), vintage-spec fretwire with 7¼" radius, and some of the last pickups that Abigail ever wound. Never seen another one like it.
