Hey all. I have a Strat and a Tele from the early 90's I believe. Guitar Centre got 29 sets of these guitars made up by Fender Custom Shop(I think?) to celebrate opening their 29th store. That's all the info I have on these. Anyone know anything more?

Sorry for the very late answer - your post seems to have fallen a victim of the forum's 'fighting spam by delaying first posts until inspected' policy.

I'd never even heard of these guitars before - GC is way out of my 'hood, ya know. But there's been some discussions on them before: https://forums.fender.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=21711
Seems they were a 1993 model, so maybe emailing Fender Consumer Relations via the support pages would give more info; builder, specs etc.

With a little googling, there's been a pair for sale on reverb.com: https://reverb.com/item/1914211-fender- ... metalflake


Your imgur link doesn't work with the forum's IMG-command, but here's the link: https://imgur.com/a/wDHqO6c
And for forum members reading this, it's worth clicking.
:wink: Copying the image address (starts http; ends .jpg) and using the IMG-command with that, here's an appetizer:

IMHO, the guitars look legit, original and beautiful (all pics from the outside, though, so there may be more info in the neck end, heel and 'under the 'hood) - but they should absolutely have the original cases and Custom Shop COA's to accompany them.

Now the topic is rolling, so maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in...

Thanks for the reply! Sorry about the IMG link being wrong in my last post. Hope this one works.

They both have their original cases and COA. Here's the Tele one.

They play so well and sound amazing but I'm wondering what pickups were used and what type of neck they are? I read somewhere that they are a thicker C shape? But they both feel nice and thin to me and I don't have big hands...

Only 29 examples were made so far, as the quantity number on the back of the headstock suggests. Limited Edition Run.

Really sweet looking pair!!! Birdseye maple necks w/ a bit of curly. Shame about that little ding in the Strat, it'll take a really good tech to fix & match that color/flake combination.

You might shoot GC an email & pic, they should be helpful in all the specs if the Fender folks haven't.
