1996 FENDER CUSTOM SHOP BILL CARSON CUSTOM 1959 "RED HEAD" STRAT RELIC MASTERBUILT BY JOHN CRUZ Limited Edition (1 of 4)
This guitar is amazing and it sounds like heaven. It is over 20 year old relic and “A ONE OF A KIND”.
In 1996 Garrett Park Guitars attended the NAMM show in Anaheim California. While there located an original 1959 Stratocaster that had belonged to Bill Carson. Bill was with Leo Fender when he invented the Stratocaster, and in fact was very instrumental in its creation. They met with Bill and showed him the guitar and there were so taken by it that they asked Fender to recreate it as a relic. Vince Cunetto did a very nice job of relicing these and they also asked Lindy Fralin to specila custom wind pickups for the guitars that were sent to Fender to be installed there. The resulting four amazing Stratocaster's were sold within days of receipt but we were lucky enough to snag the #1 of 4 and are offering it for sale.
