Pre Owned 2011 Fender Masterbuilt Todd Krause 1969 NOS Stratocaster HSH Black With OHSC

ACES HIGH - 2

We just took in two very special Masterbuilt 69 Strats, both with an HSH pickup configuration and a Floyd Rose tremolo system - built to nearly identical specs, with only slight differences (the pickups).  These were part of a collection that has now made its way to us.  This is the second of the pair.

This guitar was built by Todd Krause, longtime veteran Fender Masterbuilder, back in 2011.  Since then, it has been owned by a single collector.  In those 11 years, it never got played, so it's in immaculate condition.  It has been vetted and setup by the techs in our shop, and plays perfectly.  It comes with the original hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity.

This '69 Strat has a classic Black with White Pickguard look, but it's anything but ordinary.  You'll notice that it's an HSH pickup configuration, with a DiMarzio humbuckers and a Fender Custom Shop 69 Strat middle pickup.  The other calling card of this guitar is the Floyd Rose Original (recessed).  This guitar is simply ready to rip.  The NOS lacquer finish (no aging) in Black gives it a sleek look, and looks stunning paired with the AA Birdseye maple neck.  The '69 "U" neck shape with jumbo frets and a satin finish makes it a lot of fun to play, whether riffing down low or executing speedy runs up the neck.

We don't see many Strats like this coming through the door, and all of sudden, we have two at the same time.  We don't think they'll last long.  You could Run to the Hills, or you could run to Truetone Music to grab this guitar - or order online right here to get it sent straight to your home.  Just Be Quick or Be Dead. (sorry, couldn't resist the references!)
