Near-mint, original Fender Custom Shop Bill Carson '57 RI Stratocaster from March, 1993.

Only 100 made, with the original run being commissioned by Music Trader in Florida. As some of you may know, only 41 guitars were actually sold through Music Trader before Fender took over the rest of the run. This particular guitar, #74, was sold through Fender. It features a different neck plate than the ones sold through Music Trader due to the originals being lost by the Custom Shop and it does not come with the same documentation as the ones sold through Music Trader (it does come with the original COA and case candy, though). These guitars are distinct in that they feature a custom shaped, soft V neck profile to Bill's specs, a Cimarron Red finish, and a heavily figured Birdseye maple neck. They are tremendous playing guitars aside from their rarity and collectibility. With original hard case.
