2006 Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt Yuriy Shishkov Stratocaster Russian Strat Aged Cherry Burst 1 Of 10 Limited Edition
This is one of the 10 first run Russian Strats by Yuriy Shishkov. The real thing. All 10 strats from the first run by post-Soviet luthier Yuriy Shishkov, one of the best of Fender Custom shop, were made in 2006 exclusively for Russian market and only available for purchase at A&T Trade Russia in 2006-2008. Few guitars was re-sold from Russia worldwide, and as i know only one was in Ukraine (this one), i see 1 in USA one time. Impossible to find for now especially in collector's condition like this. Almost unplayed, part of big collection i help to sale now.
The peculiarity of the instrument was such unique features as the exclusive pickups hand-wound by Yuriy, the overlay on the body richly decorated with flame maple, the Custom Shop mother-of-pearl logo on the 12th fret and other incredible things. There are only 10 such instruments in the world, in most cases the instruments are in private collections, like this one, we help to sell it to a collector from Ukraine.
Yuri Shishkov is one of the best guitar makers in the world, currently working in the Fender Custom Shop as a Senior Master Builder. Starting making guitars in 1986, Yury has made hundreds of great guitars in his nearly 40-year career. His instruments were played by guitarists of the highest level. Like Jimmy Page, Dimebag Darrell, Buddy Guy, Nuno Bettencourt, John 5, J. Batten and many more. At the NAMM Show, Yuriy Shishkov's guitars were almost always the most expensive, one of the last works was with 500 diamonds and cost $1 million!!!
