Fender Custom Shop / Stratocaster / 1998 / Unknown / Guitar
The one of kind Stratocaster made by Fender Custom Shop in the yaer 1998. We think most valueable Fender Custom Shop guitar in the worl!!
The original owner sold the guitar at Gruhn Guitars in Nashville in April 2000.
One of our friend in US who introduced us that "The second owner want to sale the guitar" and now we got it!!
Before we get the guitar, we contacted to Mr. George Gruhn of Gruhn Guitars about the guitar, and he guarantee us the guitar is same one before he sold.
The guitar with special made original haedsell case, original sales recipt of Gruhn Guitars and Mr. George Gruhn his opnion letter.
He described bellow..."The body has been carved by George Amicay of the Fender Custom Shop with Dumbo, Micky Mouse, The Cherhire Cat, Pinnochio, The Lion King and the Little Marmaid. A three dimensional pearl carved Tinkerbell is affixed to the peghead and the fingerboard is inlaied with pearl stars. The neck and body have been painted by Disny animator Chris Schnabel. The guitar was produced as a joint effort between the Fender Company and the Disny Corporation. This particular instrument was futured in Guitar Player Magazine and was presented by the Disny Corporation is a special 75th annivesary Disny contest. Since this is one of kind insturment, it does not appear in any Fender catalog, nor did it have standerdized list price, however, it was evaluated by Disny Corparation and Fender at $40,000 for the purposes of the contest and the contest winner signed tax forms indicating that value when he was presented with the instrument. It is our opinion, therefor that it shoud be insured for that amount."
