This guitar is in great condition and is barely used, showing only minor signs of usage from display on our showroom floor.
At Winter NAMM 2020, Fender held its annual Custom Shop Winter Showcase, inviting buyers to place claim cards on the models they wish to purchase. Fender then selected one card for each model at random and offered the winning buyer an exclusive ownership opportunity. Only 350 instruments were available in that sale, and this Fender Custom Shop guitar was one.
