From the listing

Seller's description

For lovers of exclusive and collectible guitars - Fender Custom Shop ’57!Everything is original. Nothing was added, nothing was replaced. No intervention. The guitar was used only in studio conditions. The condition is practically perfect. It was kept in a large private collection.In my opinion, the main “highlight” of this instrument is the pickups. They are hand-wound and signed by the same Josefina Campos, who studied with Abigail Ybarra. Hand Wound ’57! Who knows, knows! They sound incredibly balanced and transparent. The low frequencies are surprisingly soft, and in general the guitar has a very lively and open sound. You don’t want to let it out of your hands!All this stands on an anodized gold pickguard - not only very beautiful, but also useful: it additionally works as shielding.The second thing is, of course, the color! HLE Gold is one of the most spectacular and rarest Fender Custom Shop gold shades. It is a deep, rich vintage gold, which is found mainly on limited Custom Shop models. It looks much more interesting than the usual metallic - especially live, where the color literally changes depending on the lighting.Under the pickguard, on the body there are all the factory signatures and markings, including the color and the pressed Custom Shop sign. Under the "heel" of the neck there are also all the factory markings.Frets - 6105, resource about 90%. Still play and play for many years.Locking pegs. Work perfectly.The instrument is fully serviced: a new set of strings and a full setup.Complete with case and documents.
