Vintage NOS 2007 Fender Custom Shop "Crash" Todd Krause Masterbuilt Stratocaster #50 of 50

Here is an Amazing and Beautiful Vintage New Old Stock 2007 Fender Custom Shop "Crash" John Matos, Todd Krause Masterbuilt Stratocaster. AKA Crashocaster. Serial # CN97164. This is the "Last one" number 50 of 50 ever made and considered to be one of the most attractive of the 50 ever built. Known as "Crash 50", The Final One. Most notable by the only one with stars painted on it. There are many articles written about the history and collaboration between Crash and Fender and this limited run of 50. Be assured that this is 100% authentic and comes with the COA, Case, Case Candy bag sealed, Strap etc. I even contacted Crash and he confirmed it's authenticity and has pictures of it being built. I opened it up carefully to inspect and found Todd's signature, TK stamped in body under the pickup. The COA was originally lost but I paid Fender to re-inspect it, authenticate it, and issue a replacement COA as shown. This was purchased as an investment piece and has remained untouched and unplayed since new. It is in perfect original condition as shown. Here are some links to some of it's history....

$34K because of a custom paint job? I'm feeling old and out of touch since I don't know who Todd Krause is or what the "Crash" series of Strats is.

It can be NOS 2007. Have to wait anoth'er 20 years for vintage.

'This was purchased as an investment piece and has remained untouched and unplayed since new."

I'd say it's neither.

Pretty ballsy putting up a less than totally accurately described $34,000 guitar for your first Reverb sale.
 
I like the background color. And what is the deal with that red penis shaped blob on the back of the upper bout?

No thank you. The art on this one just is not doing it for me. The red looks like someone smeared a computer paintbrush around a few times on an outline of a strat, and then they printed a sticker from that.
