Fender Custom Shop Buddy Holly Tribute Stratocaster

NAMM 2012   The long awaited Buddy Holly Tribute Stratocaster was finally revealed at this year’s NAMM Show.  Limited to 50 pieces worldwide, Masterbuilder Dennis Galuszka recreated Buddy’s original ’55 Strat right down to the cracked pickup cover.  This is quite an exacting guitar, Fender is even using the correct ’54 bakelite parts that his guitar featured which have previous been reserved for only the Masterbuilt ’54 models in 2004.  Buddy’s guitar was lost many years ago, so only photos exist of it today, but fortunately enough were available to really dig in to the project and nail it.  This guitar will be available at The Music Zoo in February with an MSRP of $10,999.
