I found a nice used 2007 shell pink 1959 Custom shop strat in a local shop. I can't seem to find much information on this particular guitar. Anybody own one? Can anyone give me some insight into specs, quality and value on this model. It has a really big neck that I didn't think I would like but everytime I go into this shop I head straight for that ugly pink guitar! I think it's calling me. Plays super nice and has kind of a wrinkled finish but not distressed or worn. I guess you would call it aged? It started out at $2199 then down to $1999 and now $1599. I was thinking I would offer $1000 and see what they say. Any opinions or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks John

Go for it.
Work out how high you would pay before you offer $1000.

That is a surprisingly good price for a custom shop strat.
The finish sounds like closet classic.
Specs could be anything in terms of pickups and fretboard radius. They were putting some out with 91/2.
If you email fender with the serial they may be able to provide you with exact details.

Just be sure it is what you think it is e.g. does it have the cert of authenticity.
Pink's not for me though :D
