USED Fender Custom Shop / MBS 1961 Stratocaster N.O.S. Sonic Blue Built by Art Esparza [20]

Art Esparza, who was recruited by John Page to join the Custom Shop in 1988, is a talented saxophonist and repair expert.
He is known for his high precision, which has been appreciated by players such as Eric Clapton and U2.
This model has a 2-piece alder body and maple neck. The rosewood is slab-applied.
It has a rich mid sound combined with the jacked-up and crisp alder wood.
The neck shape is like a 60s Oval ""C"", a natural shape that can be played in all positions without any discomfort.

* After our arrival, it has been cleaned, string replaced, rod adjusted, octave adjusted, and string height adjusted, so it is in good playing condition.

There is a stain on the head and some parts are stained.
The pickguard screw holes are widened, and there are 10 holes that are empty.
There are paint cracks on both sides of the neck pocket.
There are weather checks on some parts of the body, but other than that, it is in good condition with only minor scratches and small dings.
