Fender Custom Shop Tomatillo Stratocaster Ltd Ed Roasted (Pre Owned)
Guitar description
We've been wanting to get our hands on one of these for ages! The Tomatillo Strat was another of the hot chilly related limited editions that followed on from the Ancho Poblano and the El Diablo. This one is from 2019 and has a really interesting spec. Both the neck and body are roasted, it has the modern 9.5 radius and jumbo frets, an eight hole three ply 59 style pick guard and of course the amazing hot pickups. The finish is described as Tomatillo Green which is certainly a first for Fender. It looks like a heavily aged and faded white Strat with an interesting green tinge. With the dark roasted maple neck it just looks super cool and super vintage. The heavy Relic job on this one is superb and like all of these fantastic limited editions they've gone the extra mile when it comes to making this a very special guitar. The sound is superb, Stratty but with extra punch and zing. Acoustically it's resonant and springy and it's highly addictive to play. In superb original condition with the case and all the candy.
