This is my 2010 Fender Custom Deluxe in what I believe is called Sienna Burst. I am the second owner; the first owner bought the guitar as an investment and kept it in its case for 10 years. He told me he only played it once a year to make sure all was well and it still had the original strings when I bought it. It was intended to be a player’s guitar but, due to its ‘as new condition’, I was too frightened of damaging it so it has remained largely un-played. I’d estimate I’ve played it for about two hours in total. There is no wear anywhere including the frets.

In terms of specs it has a 2 piece body and one piece maple neck with skunk stripe and locking tuners. The pick guard is slightly off white (mint green perhaps) and the neck and middle pickups are Custom Shop 69’s (the Hendrix pickup) with a Custom Shop Texas Special at the bridge. The guitar sounds incredible and is in perfect, as new, condition. The case is a Custom Shop example and is in ‘as new’ condition too.

All of the documentation (including COA) along with Custom Shop strap and lead are present (unused) plus tools as originally supplied.

Please inspect the pictures for evidence of this.

The custom Deluxe range takes the great modern specifications of the Deluxe range and then adds the best woods, electronics and Custom Shop assembly and quality control, all this is covered on the internet.

The guitar was to be a long-term investment but a house move requires the selling of a few items including an Orange Terror 500 bass combo. Please see my other items if you’re interested.

The guitar is strictly for collection from my home in the KT3 area of SW London (no couriers) as I would not wish to trust a courier with this pristine example. I would consider delivery within100 miles if the full cost is covered by the buyer – this would be by prior arrangement only so please contact me if you would want such a service.

By all means contact me through eBay with any questions about the guitar. It’s a great guitar to play with wonderful strat tones and it’s lovely to look at too, the figured maple neck and Sienna burst colour is a classic combination. It's certainly the most beautiful and smooth playing guitar I've ever owned and the sound is epic. I believe this is the cheapest online example of a Custom Deluxe and despite being 14 years old it is as new.

Finally, just to be clear, this is for personal collection only (no courier). I fully expect any new owner to inspect the guitar fully on collection, it will not disappoint.
