No sales tax for US customers outside California.

This GT11 Stratocaster made a splash in the shop! It is a beauty, it is light at 7 pounds 5 ounces, and it plays perfectly

The GT11 Strat is a dealer-select Custom Shop program built around a single guiding idea: what would the ultimate Stratocaster look like if every specification decision was made by players rather than by catalog convention? Sweetwater worked directly with Fender Custom Shop to define the answer, and the 11" fingerboard radius is where the program takes its name and establishes its identity.

The 11" radius is the specific dimension that sits between vintage Strat territory — the 7.25" and 9.5" radii that define the traditional instrument — and the flatter modern performance radii. Players who have spent time with the GT11 consistently describe the 11" radius as the point where chording comfort and lead articulation stop fighting each other and find a genuine resolution. Chord shapes feel natural and full without the fretting-out that a tighter radius can produce, and single-note work at the upper positions feels as effortless as it does at the nut.

The roasted ash body and AAA flame roasted maple neck are material choices with specific tonal and stability reasoning. Roasting removes moisture and sugars from the wood, reducing weight, improving dimensional stability against seasonal humidity changes, and producing a tonal character that players and builders consistently describe as drier and more resonant — closer to the character of well-aged vintage wood. The AAA flame maple neck is visually exceptional, and the roasting process gives it the warm, amber-brown appearance of an aged neck without waiting decades for the result. The 60s oval C profile at .821" at the first fret and .967" at the twelfth fills the hand correctly for extended playing without fatigue.

The HW 64 Strat pickups — hand-wound to 1964 specification — read 5.81k bridge, 5.32k middle, and 5.22k neck, correct and well-balanced for period-accurate early-1960s Stratocaster tone. Fat, round lows, sparkling highs, and none of the harsh icepick frequencies that overwound pickups produce. The RWRP middle pickup provides hum-cancelling in positions 2 and 4. Clay dots on the AAA rosewood fingerboard, bone nut, narrow tall 6105 frets, RSD tremolo bridge with vintage staggered tuners complete the vintage-accurate visual presentation. At 7 lbs 5 oz this is a light, resonant instrument. Action set at 2/32" on both strings at the twelfth fret. Original hardshell case included.

The frets show the lightest amount of use that you could see with the naked eye.  The guitar is in near mint condition throughout.  There are no changes, repairs, or issues.  All the case candy and paperwork is included.

Excerpts from Real Online User Reviews:

• "The roasted maple neck makes the guitar lighter by drawing out water weight and more stable than unroasted necks — and you've never felt one like it." — Sweetwater InSync
• "The HW 64 hand-wound pickups deliver a full-range sound with fat, round lows, sparkling highs, balanced mids, and zero icepick frequencies." — Sweetwater
• "The GT11-spec Sweetwater Exclusives blend early-to-mid '60s vintage aesthetics with modern playability — clay markers and period-correct details throughout." — Equipboard community
