Description
Condition: This is an excellent player’s grade Strat that has been assembled from various parts made mostly by Fender. There are various scratches, nicks, dings and dents throughout the instrument, all of which give it a cool vintage look. There is a filled-in screw hole on the treble side horn and a crack near the treble side of the bridge that goes through to the underside. This crack is showing no movement and has been reinforced with glue (see photos). There are some extra screw holes beneath the pickguard and back plate. The body was originally designed for a 3-bolt neck. The neck dates to 2003. The body and bridge are not made by Fender however the neck and pickups are Fender parts. Fingerboard and frets have moderate play wear and plenty of life left in them. The neck has 70s reissue tuners and the wood plug has been replaced with some visible finish wear. Neck is very straight and the truss rod functions fine. Neck tilt screw is missing. All electronics and parts are in perfect working condition.
Body: Solid contoured alder body in two-tone sunburst finish. Tremolo bridge with six individual saddles and an unoriginal trem arm. Skirted parchment control knobs and a 3-ply parchment pickguard. Two of the neck screw holes on the body have been re-drilled making the holes bigger.
Neck: Modern “C” shaped maple neck with maple fingerboard, black dot inlays and a 1 11/16” nut. 70s Reissue Fender tuners, 25.5” scale length.
Pickups/Electronics: Fender SCN Noiseless single-coil pickups in the neck, middle and bridge with master volume control, dual tone controls and a 5-way selector switch.
Neck: 9.53K Ohms.
Middle: 9.66K Ohms.
Bridge: 9.59K Ohms.
Weight: 9lbs, 6.0oz.
Playability/Sound: This is an all around great playing Strat. The noiseless pickups provide all the classic Fender tone and single coil “snap” without the added hum. The neck is extremely comfortable and the 70s reissue tuners give the guitar added vintage style. This Strat has a particularly nice ring to it. It has a good transfer of vibration through the neck and body and some nice natural resonance.
Case: Includes hardshell case.
