I am trying to understand what this Fender Custom Shop guitar really is:

An exceptional Stratocaster, but the custom shop serial number is
0009. Can anybody explain why the serial number is so low? In person it looks far better than online. It has extremely birdseyed maple neck, deep flames, that show through the side binding (how'd they do that), exceptional neck... etc. Custom shop logo on back of headstock round, and on heel plate.
Anybody got a clue as to what this instrument is? Is it a master luthier made? Some special series? It is not a showmaster - it has a stratocaster logo.
I am confused, and no it is not for sale. Just wondering...
