Hey there,

I just bought a used Fender Custom Shop '54 reissue Stratocaster. It's my first Strat after lusting over them for years. I found this guitar used here in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It was made in 1997 and it came with the tweed case and all of the documentation that it would have come with new. It is aztec gold and has a great flamed maple neck. I have waited a long time to find the right Strat and this is it.

The original owner must have really needed the money!
I'd sell my wife before I sold that!

Thanks for the warm welcomes! :) I've been looking at some beautiful Strats on this site lately.

The original owner only played the guitar a few times (It probably had the original strings on it). He died shortly after he received the guitar. His family planned to give the guitar to another family member, but he died as well. It's a sad story, but I'll take care of it and play it everyday.
