Description

What makes this guitar special: This is a great playing Strat Plus with classic tone. Most players buying Strat Pluses from this era are looking for the Lace Sensor pickups, the tone of which is a somewhat hyped mid-range with a rounded top end that adds a slightly smoother attack, yet still maintains all the pop and roll that Strats are known for. This generation of Strat Plus comes with a Wilkinson nut with an ultra-smooth roller bar, as well as locking tuning machines, and a deluxe-style bridge, all of which provide excellent stability. Its Lake Placid Blue finish is still as vibrant as ever, even at over 25 years old, and even though it has various love marks, still looks pretty great for its age.

Condition: This Strat Plus is in very good condition overall. It does have various nicks, dings, dents, scuffs, chips and scratches, but is still in great shape for its age. It does have specks or pink paint through as well. The frets show only light wear and still have a considerable amount of life left in them. The neck is straight and the truss rod is functioning as it should.

Body: Double cutaway contoured body in Lake Placid Blue finish. 3-ply white pickguard. White top hat control knobs. Deluxe-style tremolo bridge.
   
Neck: Slim to medium C shape maple neck and maple fingerboard with black dot inlays. 1 11/16” Wilkinson nut. Satin finish locking tuning machines. 25.5” scale.

Electronics: Fender Lace Sensor single-coil pickups in the neck, middle, and bridge. 1 x volume, 2 x tone controls. 5-way pickup selector.

Neck: 5.71k Ohms

Middle: 5.81k Ohms

Bridge: 5.88k Ohms

Weight: 8 lbs 5.2 oz

Playability/Sound: The neck on this Strat is as easy as any and plays great from the nut to the cutaway. The Lace Sensor pickups sounds great in every position and perfectly embody the hyped mid-range with a rounded top end Strat sound that makes these favorites for a lot of players.

Case: Includes original hardshell case.
