(SOLD) Used Fender Stratocaster '57 Reissue Shell Pink
Fender Strat '57 reissue in shell pink, crafted in Japan 97-00. You really don't see many guitars in this finish, it's certainly eye catching! It's really got a sweet 50s aesthetic; it's yellowed nicely in 20ish years to a orangey-salmon-pink that's very tasty. This has aged very gracefully too, there's barely a mark on it! The maple neck is moderate in profile, it's instantly likeable. The maple board looks great and also sharpens up the attack and definition; this packs a whole lot of perfect Strat-spank. This is a super sweet Strat with a whole lot to love.
