Description
What makes this guitar special: This is still one of the more versatile electrics on the market. An American Stratocaster through and through, this guitar still does everything a well-built Strat does, but comes with a huge range of additional tonal options. Its four extra modes include a modeled Strat, Telecaster, HH configuration, and even an acoustic, each of which is still controllable via the volume, tone, and 5-way pickup selector that adheres to whatever setting is enabled. In addition, it also offers five additional tuning options like drop D and open G for quick on the fly tuning changes, plus features a 12-string effect that can be applied to any of the previously mentioned modes. Other than that, it still looks, feels, and sounds like a solid American Standard Stratocaster, so even if the additional options become rarely used or aren’t appealing, it still functions perfectly as a standard Fender electric.
Condition: This Strat is in excellent condition overall. Outside of a few small dings, dents, and light scratches here and there, it is very clean and still looks fantastic for a used guitar. The frets show only light wear and still have a full lifetime of playing left in them. The neck is comfortable and the truss rod functions as it should.
