    There was no relic on these, it was essentially NOS....but before that came out hence the CN serial number and not the R. 1996 was also the 9th year of the Custom Shop, COA's were handwritten then and signed by John Page. CS logo different then too. Great guitars, I have a 1994.

  • @mcmdrpiffle447
    @mcmdrpiffle447 Před 3 lety +5

    Fun Fact ! (as I own this guitar) The tuner buttons are actually plastic, coated in chrome. The tuners are the real deal, but in 1996, Fender used plastic buttons. I've never been able to wrap my head around why they did that. That is the only gig.
    That said. The single best Stratocaster I'lve ever played. Period. * By 'I own this guitar....not this actual one, but another 96 custom shop, Strat, different color. Made in mid to late 96, as opposed to the earlier 96's. It was a divided year for Fender, and it makes a huge difference.
    IMHO, (in my humble opinion) This is the single best Stratocaster ever produced. I've played a lot of them over the years. This is better than many originals, comes with the 5 way switch, original pickups, better than vintage pot/wire/and finish work than them.....
    Even the 'Made in Japan', MIJ, not crafted in Japan, ones at the same time are far superior to anything else out there in the US catalog.
    As Lemmo says.............this is a rare bird. Everything came together after April of 96 for this batch. The best of everything.
    I would play this over an actual '54 Strat. I'm aware the actual has more value, but this is a much better guitar.
    Hang onto it for another 10--15 years, and you will command really big bucks.
    My opinion anyway!
    Cheers !

    • @mcmdrpiffle447
      @mcmdrpiffle447 Před 3 lety

      @@soofitnsexy I'd agree with you. I paid if I remember about.... $600.00 for it, brand new with a case. 1500,00 would be a rather high price.
      Not sure why Norm's is asking 4K for a 1996 guitar, but there you go. I peruse them constantly several times a year on Reverb, and they're getting around 1K for these guitars.
      They're Great, Fantastic Guitars. That said, they've really no provenance other than being made in the USA and Japan (better) in 1996.
