The Black Strat - Fender Dream Factory identical relic of David Gilmour Stratocaster - Masterbuilt Todd Krause

#R111020

2021 Fender Custom Shop David Gilmore Stratocaster Relic in Black over Sunburst. Super-collectible replica of the legendary 'black strat' that recently became the most expensive guitar to ever sell at auction, at just under $4 million. This custom shop version of the famous 'black Strat' was one of the most highly-anticipated guitars to be released in decades and has become hugely desirable for collectors and players alike. Now discontinued, this is one of the very last produced and benefits from all the various tweaks and upgrades that have been made through the years of production. The attention to detail is staggering, from the accuracy of the Relic'ed finish to the pickups and electronics. Even the set up and pickup heights are as per the original guitar! It sound absolutely superb and really captures those iconic tones, particularly when the mini toggle switch is on. The full spec is below, as is a photo of the traveller (Note the references to Masterbuilder Todd Krausse). Plays superbly and nice and light at 7lb 5oz and in as new condition with Original Case and all the goodies it came with, including "Live at Pompeii" DVD, Evidence Audio Cable, Strap and Cert etc. We were genuinely blown away by the level of detail the Custom Shop have gone to with this guitar. Just awesome in ever respect!
