Fender / Custom Shop '65 Stratocaster Relic / 2005 / 3-Tone Sunburst / Guitar
|
Here we have an amazing reproduction of the famous Fender “L Series” from the sixties. The Custom Shop has had every detail into account, and the results speak for themselves. Spectacular relicing job, and the feel is just fantastic. The apparently worn neck is among the most comfortable ones we’ve ever tried on a Strat, and the veneer type fretboard is just a work of art itself. The sound that the Custom ’65 pickups deliver (my favorite ones for a Strat) are pure Vaughan-style blues, definitely more bluesy than 57’s (less “chimey”) a with tons of mojo, very explosive. My favorite, I guess you’ve noticed by now. These guitars retail 2800-3000€ new. At a great price, in exceptional condition. Includes OHSC (exceptional condition except for a few scuffs in some corners) and Certificate of Authenticity.

Guitar Giraffe, Spain 
In the last few years, online sale for musical instruments has experienced an amazing growth, but has passed right through the pre-owned market (that is, in Spain), limiting it to specialised forums and private owners. This is why Guitar Giraffe was born, the first physical and online second hand guitar and amp store (we like to call it "pre-owned", since we see a big difference between both terms), with a clear commitment of giving new options to guitarists locally and worldwide. Pre-owned guitar stores, so common in UK and USA, were practically nonexistent in Spain. We’ve wanted to fill that empty space by becoming the first physical and online store in our country focused on pre-owned guitars and amps.
