GPOTD 10.24.16

[Denverdave]

For sale is a 2016 Fender Custom Shop Claro Walnut Artisan Strat. I purchased this new earlier this year. This guitar is as close to mint condition as it gets, but it is used. It plays great, sounds incredible, and doesn't look bad either! It has been setup last summer with Ernie Ball regular slinky 10-46 gauge strings. Certificate, all 'case candy' and original accessories are included, as well as the original case. See below for exact specs. Guitar ships Fedex 2-day with insurance (for replacement price) and will require signature confirmation. Guitar can also be picked up from Long Island, NY. Any questions send me a message.

Sorry for the delay - I got slammed at work as soon as I walked in.

nooooope.

I'm usually not big on Strats but that looks kind of cool - especially since I've had low level GAS for the original early 80s Walnut Strat for quite some time. I could get into this one.

Nice looking Strat. Would like a 22nd fret please.

 

[Dogsinplastic]

That's a lovely looking guitar right there.

Not really feeling that one. Each of the components is very nice, but somehow when put together the body and neck don't work for me. Plus gold hardware...

 

[Modern Saint]

Nice!

 

[Deep Eddy]

It's OK. Not a fan of gold hardware on Strats. Also, the white knobs and pickup covers seem to "jump out" too much relative to the colors of the pickguard, neck and body. Not sure what color knobs/pickups would look better, but the white ones looks odd to me.

Should be an interesting week!

I like that!
I'd rather have chrome hardware and 22 frets but I wouldn't throw this out of bed.

 

[Mark Wein]

Wow. I don't enjoy that.

I like my strats with a layer of space-age color, like Leo intended.

Needs buckers and a Floyd

If Taylor Swift were playing with a mustard yellow dress at a lamestream media political rally where they were serving fried chicken crust pizza in a tribute to Kevin Meaney after Strymon release their Walking Dead pedal...then maybe I'd be interested.

Maybe.

I agree with that, otherwise I think it's pretty sharp.

Love it. Love Birdseye, love walnut, love strats. Oh yeah.
