The neck is by Michael Stevens and Richard Syarto, and the body by John Page. Michael Stevens and John Page were the two originators of the Fender Custom Shop in 1987. This is the first guitar to be built by the Custom Shop directly for the retail market. The first batch of Custom Shop guitars prior to this one were built for Artists and Fender Management

More Information

Generally in good condition and appears to be all original. The guitar does not have a COA, although I don't think these were supplied with one as its such an early example.
There are some lacquer imperfections around the neck heel and a blemish to the back. Also some lacquer checks running horizontally along the back. Frets and neck in good shape. A good lightweight example. See images for general condition guidance.
