Fender Stratocaster Custom Shop Ancho Poblano Limited Edition Pre Owned
Guitar description
The Ancho Poblano limited edition Strat from 2016 was the first edition to feature these amazing new pickups. They have since found their way into numerous custom shop models. This is one of the original models that features a unique spec. A very heavy relic finish with a real 50s vibe. One of the main features of this guitar is the huge neck profile. It has to be the largest and thickest neck on a Strat that Fender have ever produced. Classed as 51 Nocaster U shape neck it feels very thick indeed. It also features huge frets which makes it a very meaty feeling Strat. The tone from this instrument is absolutely superb. Clearly some superb quality woods have been used, the thick neck no doubt contributing to the excellent tone and sustain. Available as a very limited run in 2016 and now discontinued in this exact spec, today you can expect to pay well upwards of £4000 for the new limited edition Custom Shop Strats and Teles. This example is a lovely well cared for guitar. The frets remain in perfect condition.
