Let my R9 go for these two beauties. Still got my R8 but this was a chance deal I had to act on or let go by and I've been jonesing for a good Fender for awhile. New are a Black Custom Shop '56 NOS Stratocaster from 2009 and a Vintage Blonde (as opposed to the much more common Butterscotch) '51 Nocaster Relic from 2008. Both in as new condition. Totally stock as far as I can tell except the previous owner had wired a small jumper on the switch of the Strat so the bridge pickup would be connected to the bottom tone knob. I "get" why someone might want to do that but in my experience it robs the pickup of volume and tone so I removed that wire and returned it to stock.
