Yngwie & Eruption?!! PHIL X! 2004 Fender Stratocaster Mary Kaye Hardtail 01135

http://www.frettedamericana.com/fende...

This is the Hardtail Stratocaster that Greg Fessler of the Fender Custom Shop made for May Kaye in late 2004. This preceeded the Custom Shop Tribute Series run of fifty special '56 'Desert Sand' Stratocasters, all with the usual tremolo. We believe this to be the only 'Hardtail' Mary Kaye Stratocaster ever produced. This fantastic and historically important guitar with a Vintage Blonde Nitro Celulose 'Spider' vein finish weighs just 6.60 lbs. and has a nut width of just over 1 5/8 inches and a scale length of 25 1/2 inches. One-piece 'Swamp' ash body, one-piece maple neck with a typical "10/56 Boat Neck Shape," and maple fretboard with 21 Vintage Style 'medium' frets and black dot position markers. Four-bolt neck plate engraved "MK 5037 / Limited Release / 2005 / Fender / Custom Shop". Three 'specially custom wound' pickups by Abigail Ybarra; all three signed "Abby" and dated "12-9-04" with perfectly balanced outputs of 5.84k, 5.84k, and 5.83k. Written in pencil on the bottom of the neck is "Mary Kaye" and beneath that is the pencil signature of Greg Fessler. The neck pickup cavity is stamped in blind "G F". All hardware gold-plated. This guitar is in mint (9.50) condition. Housed in the original Fender Vintage Tweed hardshell case with orange plush lining (9.50).
