This guitar is in unplayed condition. Selling only as result of an ultimatum from unamed party who is "sick of all these bloody guitars all over the place." No doubt there will be more eBaying to come...or I may be laying a new patio....Fender introduced this limited run in 2014 to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the fender Strat but at that time, they only offered it in a 2 tone Sunburst "Relic" finish, so later in the year they released some "Roadshow" models and offered some extra colour and finish options.This beautiful Fiesta Red Strat has all the specs of a sweet vintage Strat but with a 9.5" radius and medium jumbo frets so it's really nice to play.You can see examples of this guitar (not this actual one but the same model)

Manufacturer's blurb:Only available for the 60th Anniversary year this stunning example of a '54 Strat has a whole host of vintage features with a nod to modernity for playability. The one-piece ash body features a nitrocellulose lacquer finish in Fiesta Red. The one-piece quartersawn maple neck has a comfortable 1954 "U"-shaped profile and tinted lacquer finish, and the maple fingerboard has a 9.5" radius and 21 6105 frets for smooth modern playability. Three 1954 single-coil Stratocaster pickups deliver a singing original-era voice. Other features include modern five-way pickup switching, a single-ply white pickguard, synchronized tremolo bridge with six "patent pending" saddles, vintage-style tuners and nickel-chrome hardware. The guitar comes in a tweed "center-pocket" case with Stratocaster 60th anniversary embroidery and an included 60th anniversary commemorative book.
