TimmyC Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) [u][b]Fender Stratocaster USA[/b][/u] Everyone knows that Fenders vary in quality from guitar to guitar. This is definitely a "good one". Sounds and plays great with superb natural resonance. Its a 60th anniversary in olympic white. The guitar is all original apart from the pickups have been upgraded to some fantastic bare knuckle irish tours and the pick guard has been changed from white to tortoise shell. Also the 2nd tone knob controls the bridge pickup as opposed to the the middle pickup - this is a popular mod that many strat players do. It could also be easily reversed if one wanted. The back plate has been left off for the ease of changing strings but is also included with the appropriate screws along with the trem arm. Condition is 8/10. A few minor dings from general use but that's it. In summary, a great strat that makes me question why I'm keeping a custom shop version over this Any questions, fire away.

TimmyC Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 No original case but I can throw in a fairly decent soft case if needs be. Sorry I'm looking for the cash so no trades or part ex-changes. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golchen Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I gotta say that strat appeals to me on every level. A peach! I’m really not in the market for another guitar right now but I’m gonna come back a few times and look at the pix just to make sure that my temptation threshold holds out ...
