New Buddy Holly Tribute guitar from the Fender Custom Shop







Another stunning reproduction from the Fender Tribute series of iconic guitars!  And they don't come much more iconic than this one which adds to Graham's Collection of other special edition guitars such as the SRV Number 1, is this VERY Limited Edition (there are only 50 world wide and just 2 made it to Australia!) is this 'new' Buddy Holly Stratocaster built by Fender Custom Shop Master Builder Dennis Galuszka. 


The original 1955 guitar has been painstakingly reproduced using the original materials, pickups, woods, paint scheme.  It even has all the nicks and dings from Buddy's original, and is offered as a special 50 Piece Tribute to one of Rock & Roll's pioneers.


The Master Built Stratocaster comes with a 2-Disc set of Buddy's gold records, and a signed certificate by Buddy's widow, Maria Elena Holly.
