For sale: a 2009 Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster ’60s Yamano in the iconic Surf Green finish.

Yamano guitars occupy a special place in the history of the Fender Custom Shop. For many years, Yamano Music was Fender’s exclusive high-end distributor in Japan and commissioned some of the finest Custom Shop instruments ever produced. Built to exceptionally demanding specifications, these guitars are renowned for their outstanding craftsmanship, carefully selected tonewoods, and remarkable consistency. Today, Yamano-spec Custom Shop Fenders are highly sought after by collectors and professional musicians alike.

This ’60s Stratocaster perfectly captures everything that made the early-sixties instruments legendary. Finished in timeless Surf Green—arguably one of Fender’s most iconic custom colors—it is a guitar that stands out both visually and sonically.

The acoustic resonance is immediately apparent the moment you pick it up. It feels alive in your hands, producing a lively, responsive tone with exceptional sustain and remarkable dynamic range. Plugged in, it delivers everything you expect from a top-tier Custom Shop Stratocaster: glassy highs, rich and vocal midrange, tight low end, and the unmistakable three-dimensional clarity that separates truly exceptional instruments from the rest.

Many players consider the late-2000s to be one of the strongest periods of Fender Custom Shop production, while Yamano-spec guitars represent an even more exclusive category within that era. As a result, these instruments appear on the market only rarely and continue to become increasingly collectible.

This is far more than just a beautiful Surf Green Stratocaster—it’s a premium Fender Custom Shop instrument with genuine collector appeal and a level of craftsmanship that speaks for itself.
