Fender Custom / Fender Stratocaster HLE Custom Shop / 1989 / Guitar

After opening the Custom Shop in 1987 Fender made plans to make a limited edition Stratocaster in honour of Homer Haynes who was part of a musical, comedy duo ‘Homer and Jethro’ in America back in 1957. Haynes had custom-ordered a gold Stratocaster with gold plated hardware directly from Fender in 1957. Fender launched this limited edition model in 1989 and only made 500 pieces. These "Tri-Gold" Stratocaster were built as closely to the original as possible with a two piece alder body, single piece soft v-shaped maple neck with 7,25" radius, vintage frets and a small headstock. All the hardware was gold-plated just like the original and the singly-ply pickguard holds three great sounding Custom Shop single coil pickups and a newer 5-way switch. Condition is excellent; exceptionally clean for its age, a few minor dings and light weatherchecking in the body finish. This HLE Strat has a 5-way switch installed, that originally came with the guitar and misses the gold anodized pickguard. Includes original hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
