[mvguitar]

I purchased this new and am the original owner. It is in perfect shape (for a heavy relic) and plays perfectly. I'm asking $3300 plus $50 shipping via UPS in the CONUS. I have the original pics that really show all the detail of this incredible guitar. I've been selling on eBay (tcdguitars) for 13 years and have a perfect seller rating. Payment via Paypal only. Thanks!

Heavy Relic Treatment - What's the deal???
As a member of the Fender Custom Shop Time Machine Series, this Strat is treated with the Heavy Relic treatment. This means the instrument is finished to resemble an instrument that has enjoyed a long life of heavy use. This includes significant wear and tear to the finish, dings to the body, neck, and headstock, and aged hardware. The end result is an instrument that looks like it's been around for a while and plays like a broken-in instrument.
