This Used 2024 Fender Custom Shop 1960 "Chicago Special" Stratocaster Deluxe Closet Classic in Ocean Turquoise is here on trade. It was completed in 2024, so it isn't very old, and it hasn't seen much play. The neck is straight, the frets are still crowned, and the truss rod functions properly. Included with the guitar are the original hardshell case and certificate of authenticity.
"If a more modern spin on a classic Strat is something that interests you, the 1960 “Chicago Special” Stratocaster is for you. The 1960’s were a period of innovation, so we honored the spirit of the time by including a 9’5” radius (a modern upgrade) and a the Fender 1/2 blender which allows you to blend in the neck pickup in the 1st and 2nd position by way of the first tone knob. The slab rosewood fretboard is joined to a rift-sawn maple neck to enhance the resonance of the neck. Finally, the Chicago Special pickups were created with Mike Lewis to ensure a balanced output across every pole piece. The Alnico 5 magnets are wrapped in 42-gauge enamel wire, and potted in shellac to recreate the round highs, and wide open frequency range of a vintage pickup."
