What makes this guitar special: An excellent player's grade Strat from the mid '70s, with a cool vintage vibe & superb tone. The original pickups were replaced with DiMarzio SDS-1 PAF's & a 5-way selector switch. Comes with a pro set up from the experts at Cream City Music so she's guaranteed to play straight out of the case!
Cosmetic Condition: Pretty good shape for its age with some light play wear - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches, mild buckle rash & some finish wear. The pickup cavities in the body were routed a bit deeper for the the DiMarzios, but it was a fairly decent job. Overall the guitar has a cool look to it with a nice patina.
