Post subject: Why so many Custom Shop 1960 Stratocasters out there?

Whenever I do an eBay search for a "Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster" I seem to find a disproportionate number of 1960 models (I also see a lot of 1956 models). I'm always on the lookout for a killer '62/'63 Custom Shop Relic Strat (I'll know it when I see it) but I don't see that many around. Is 1960 a real popular year for some reason? Did Fender make too many of them and they're just not selling? Or am I imagining it all? :D

1960 was a year we picked because it was a turning point for that guitar. When we started the Time Machines, we picked very specific models. 1960 Strat, 1951 Nocaster, 1964 Jazz Bass, etc.

Agreed!

I own a 1997 Daphne Blue 1960 CS Stratocaster and I think it's the best strat I have ever owned (having owned 4 already before this one).
It just feels right, the neck is amazingly smooth and the rosewood slab board is the best!
