From Fender Custom Shop:

'From his blistering British Invasion beginnings through his amazingly varied solo career and right up to today, Jeff Beck has made the Stratocaster guitar an integral part of his signature sound. The Jeff Beck Signature Stratocaster features a thinner C-shaped maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard and a contoured heel for easier access to the higher registers. Further, it’s “Wired” with dual ceramic Noiseless pickups and has a two-point synchronised tremolo with stainless steel saddles, LSR roller nut, aged knobs and pickup covers, and Beck’s signature on the headstock.'

The guitar is in near-new condition and presents beautifully - there is not a mark on it! The frets are basically unplayed, the neck is smooth and clean and it sounds just like a CS Strat should.

With the recent passing of Jeff Beck, this is great opportunity to pay respects to one of the worlds most influential guitarists.
