I have run across a Fender Cutom Shop Strat with an tweed anvil type case and a tweed gig bag. The serial number is pressed into the back of the headstock. Any idea what in the world this thing is? I was told that it was a very early Custom Shop guitar. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

This is a follow-up on the Custom Shop guitar I was asking help identifying. This is a relic, gold finish, gold hardware, "084 OF 200" stamped into the back of the headstock, serial number R3669 on the neck plate.

Well, I have no idea what it is myself, but the guitar dater website did not recognize the serial number when I tried to put it in.

Can't be 100% sure, but that serial number sounds like a Fender Custom Shop, 'Diamond Dealer' Edition. They are few made-runs, so the odd serial number, I own a 40th Anniversary Diamond Dealer Edition Strat, and it's serial number on the back is, '#51 of 150'. And it came with a HUGE Anvil-Type case, but mine is Black, but the Gigbag inside is Tweed and Leather. Depending on which 'Diamond Dealer Edition' it is get's it's own special type of case, and gigbag. Check e-bay for 'Fender Custom Shop Diamond Dealer Edition Stratocaster', and you'll see a couple, like I said, they're rare. You can also 'Google' that search line, if there aren't any on e-bay at the moment.

Yep, only ever seen that case with the Diamond Dealer Cunetto era Gold 50's Strat...1996 ish. However the gig back was a nice tan leather one. I guess sometimes those didn't always get passed on to subsequent owners. Maybe someone replaced it with the cheaper tweed variety!
