The Story

Used 1997 Fender Aluminum Stratocaster Electric Guitar Gold Plated

This is a rarity that we won't see every day: this is a pre-owned Fender Custom Shop Aluminum Stratocaster built in 1997 with a gold plated finish. The story is that after Fender designed the Harley Davison 90th Anniversary aluminum-bodied Strats, they decided to built more metal-molded guitars, however sans the motorcycle artwork – thus this guitar was born. The guitar is in overall very good shape with some markings and light scuffing around the body - as we said this is a very easy finish to wear while playing, and it includes the original case along with certificate of authenticity. The gold plated aluminum Strat is the rarest of the bunch, as it scratches the easiest and was harder to create in the factory.
