Yuriy Shishkov holds the title of Principal Master Builder, which is currently the highest honor at the Fender Custom Shop. He is the ultimate guitar craftsman who generously infuses his work with the highest level of craftsmanship and custom inlay technology, and brings out outstanding tones in all models, from vintage styles to component styles.

Recently, there are restrictions on orders, and it seems that only guitars that are close to works of art, such as display models, are accepted, which shows how popular they are.

Meanwhile, the custom classic player Stratocaster serial number produced by Yuri Siskov is YS033, and it was made in 2001, right after Yuri joined the Fender Custom Shop.

This model, CustomClassicPlayerStratocaster, is a model that has improved practicality and playability by adopting specs required in the modern music scene, such as lock pegs and a two-point support bridge, and is sold as a higher-end model of American Standard's custom shop version CustomClassicStrat. This is the guitar that was used.

Since this guitar is made by a master builder, we cannot confirm the wood material or specifications, but the body is probably made of alder, the neck is made of maple, and the 22F fingerboard is made of rosewood. The neck shape is perfect, neither too thick nor too slim. The radius uses 9.5 inches, which reduces problems such as sound jamming when choking, which tends to occur with vintage specs. The frets are probably stainless steel.

The letters on the pickup are slightly faded, but FenderNoiselessPickup is installed on the front and center, and there is no letter on the rear. Also, although there is nothing written on the back, it can be assumed that these pickups are from the same period, so it is possible that only the rear cover has changed, or that the entire thing has been changed instead of Noiseless. Yes.

The pegs are Sparzel's lock type, and the nuts are roller nuts. The controls consist of VOL 2TONE and a 5way selector, and the tone does not affect the rear. A Stratocaster that perfectly combines Yuri's craftsmanship with the ease of use of a modern standard model!

Comes with hard case and certificate.

This is a versatile and easy-to-use modern Strat with a nice neck that is easy to play and hold. And most of all, I like colors like this slightly reddish Sienna Sunburst with beautiful heathered grain. It looks quite luxurious.

The roller nut and lock peg are familiar from the Jeff Beck model, and the sound is strong in highs, so I often turn down the tone a little, but this one had just the right high without having to turn it down.
I thought it had specifications similar to a Jeff Beck model, but since the Custom Classic Player is a relatively modern guitar, I guess they changed it to a roller nut and ordered this guitar. It's a very luxurious guitar.

I think this guitar will appeal not only to people who like Yuri, but also to people who don't want to own someone else's signature model. In a sense, you can use this as a base and modify it to your liking, and have a blissful time in the future.
