Under protest I am selling my 69 Custom Shop Stratocaster , I'm a collector of fine instruments , all 25 of my guitars have received perfect care . I have never gigged with it and it's always in a controlled environment . I'm a bit of a fanatic with my collection as you will see when you receive this guitar . It is in perfect condition. I purchased this one brand new in 2011 and it is just as I received it with all the case candy and certificate. I'm only selling it because I have a son in college and I need funds for his tuition . Whoever buys this guitar will be very happy with their purchase.
