Condition Notes:
– Condition: 8.5/10
– Fret wear: There’s a few extremely light flat spot/divots started to form upon extremely close inspection, mainly on the G and B strings. But hardly worth noting.
– Any wear of note: The guitar is in amazing shape overall and shows very minimal, light wear/imperfections. There’s an extremely small and minor ding a couple of inches from the jack plate on the front of the guitar. Also, there’s a very light and minor finish crack on the tummy contour that’s about 3/4″ long that turns into a very light scratch that’s about 1″ long. There’s also a faint line of what appears to be a finish imperfection of sorts running down the tummy contour. But even with all of the that, the guitar really is in amazing shape and clean.
– General notes: This is a really killer Strat from Fender with a bunch of great modern tweaks to make it a true player! It’s a really resonant and responsive guitar with a great feel. It starts out with the tried and true alder body with a maple neck, but is elevated with a gorgeous and dark ebony fingerboard. It also features a really comfortable compound neck shape that shifts from a “C” to a “D” shape as you move up the neck. Plus tons of other features, like Fender’s S-1 switching, 4th Generation Noiseless single coils, compound fretboard radius, locking tuners and more!
– Accessories included: Original Elite Molded hard-case, tremolo arm, COA, Fender pouch, hang tag, wrenches, pictured literature and case keys only
** NOTE ABOUT COLOR: Because of the satin metallic nature of the finish, the shade of the blue will vary slightly in person and even comes across different depending on the lighting. But it’s truly a gorgeous color and shouldn’t be too far off! **
