Guitar Showcase: Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt Yuriy Shishkov ’60 Empress Stratocaster

Weighing in at just 5lbs, this Fender Custom Shop Strat Masterbuilt by the amazing Yuriy Shishkov may be the lightest guitar to ever come through our doors. Made up of a Pawlonia body and airplane grade Spruce neck, you definitely won’t be compromising tone for comfort. Other features include a Tennessee Orange finish, 3-ply black pickguard, and a set of Fat ’50s single-coil pickups for a classic Strat quack and chime. We brought this unique model back with us from NAMM to share with you all, so get down to our showroom to play it! Get a closer look below!
