We know that if your want a better Fender you go for an American.  The next step up is the Fender Custom Shop.  Want one better go for a Masterbuilt Fender.  Still not satifisied we go for a special creation masterbuild built for display and auction at the annual NAMM show.  Now, Fender is offering the ultimate Masterbuilt, the "Prestige Collection". We know of the existence of only three Fender masterbuilts that carry the Prestige label.  All three were built by Fender's most sought after ornate masterbuilder Yuriy Shishkov. There's a diamond strat that sold for $1,000,000, a jeweled strat offered on Reverb for $850,000 and our 24K Gold Leaf 30th anniversary telecaster priced at $49,999.  At this price, while it seems pricey, we'd expect an investor to sell it someday for a $100,000, if not more.We're offering the one and only 24 Karat Gold Leaf Triple X Fender Custom Shop Prestige Collection Masterbuilt NOS Telecaster created by Yuriy Shishkov for the 2017 NAMM show. This glorious piece of craftsmanship is something you may never see again. It is a one-of-a-kind gold leaf telecaster (well-suited for rock, country or blues) which will leave you with your jaw dropped and your eyes wide open each time you open the case. This guitar was constructed with an alder wood body and finished in a stunning urethane gold leaf finish.  Likewise, the neck and headstock are also finished in this amazing 24K Gold leaf. The body is wrapped in a tortoise shell binding offsetting the gold and giving it a sharp edge to offset the wonderful gold leaf finish. The tortoise shell binding was carried all the way up the neck to the tail giving it a unified look which will amaze each and every time. The guitar was created to mark the 30th Anniversary of the Fender Custom Shop. To indicate this, there is a XXX inlay at the 12th fret mark as well as an XXX engraving on the neck plate. The neck is made from quarter-sawn maple and also has the same beautiful gold leaf treatment  with a 1-ply tortoise shell binding similar to the bound body. The neck is a large C-shape and holds an ebony fretboard with a 9.5" radius with medium jumbo frets. The guitar features a bad-ass TV Jones Powertron neck pickup, and a Texas Special bridge pickup; chrome vintage-style tuners to top it all off.Sure you can find dozens of run of the mill gold leaf strats, but we dare you to find a 24K Gold leaf Triple XXX 30th Anniversary Prestige Masterbuilt tele, let alone any gold leaf tele.We understand that this is a guitar that may not suit the budget of all buyers.
