Classic Custom Shop feel with a unique twist. This 2011 Fender Custom Shop Custom Deluxe Stratocaster in Sherwood Green delivers everything you’d expect from a high-end Strat — balance, clarity, and playability — with a lightly aged relic finish and matching headstock that gives it a standout look without going over the top.

This is one of those guitars that feels right immediately. Lightweight at 7.8 lbs, resonant, and responsive, it has that broken-in Custom Shop feel right out of the case. The factory relic work is tasteful and subtle, giving the guitar a naturally worn-in vibe while still presenting clean overall.

The pickup configuration on this one is worth noting — the neck and middle positions are fitted with Fender Custom Shop Abigail Ybarra (AY) single coils, known for their clarity, articulation, and vintage-correct response. The bridge pickup is a black bobbin single coil and appears to be a replacement. The guitar is fully functional and sounds excellent, delivering classic Strat chime, balanced output, and strong dynamic response across all positions.

The matching Sherwood Green headstock ties the whole build together and gives this Strat a bit more personality than your typical Custom Shop spec.

Professionally inspected and set up in-house here at NHP, this Strat plays cleanly with comfortable action and no issues.

Comes with the original Fender Custom Shop hardshell case, Certificate of Authenticity, and case candy. No floor traveler included.
