This was taken about a month ago. Three of my Fender Custom Shops have sold and I am selling most of the remaining.

It was nice to have them all together for one final shot...

Wow............ Just, wow!

How come you're selling them if you don't mind me asking?


Thanks very much. Selling to raise money for a business venture. My wife and I decided we didn't want to touch our investments or savings. The sacrifice of my guitars now will hopefully lead to the opportunity to purchase more. Plus I am going to hold on to 5 special ones...

I hope the business venture works out for you Csapo and you can start collecting again! ;)
I never thought I'd be able to get a CS Fender full stop, but now I have one everything else seems REALLY inferior. :?

I have a CS stratocaster set neck very similar to yours.

Mine is the only one I know of that has gold hardware. Gold hardware is 'out of fashion' these days but I think it looks great on this guitar.

I have the American Series 50th Anniversary, and I really like it. It's a really beautiful looking and playing guitar.

What are your thoughts about the 50th Anniversary Strat? What do you like, what do yoy not like and was it worth getting?

Just love this guitar.

Only 30 made, I was wondering, does anyone else on the forum have one? And if so, please share.

Well, I finally got her, and all I can say is, they both are absolute dreams. If I don't ever get another guitar, that will be just fine because these two are more than I ever could have hoped for. :D
