Lot Essay

This guitar was supplied directly from the Fender Custom shop in 2013 as a sample of the left-handed NOS. On receipt, it was discovered that the guitar was fitted with right-handed pots and tremolo arm. Fender subsequently supplied the correct left-handed parts which are fitted to the current guitar.
