The instrument, which shows normal wear and tear, is in perfect working condition. The fingerboard has been professionally replaced with new jumbo frets. The electronics have been slightly modified - the tone shield now works on the pickup as well, which is not common with vintage wiring. The pickguard has been removed several times, the previous owner apparently experimented with other pickups/pickguards, the screw holes are lined with skewers.
However, the sound is taken care of by Fender Custom Shop pickups, wired into a five-position switch. The alder body is connected to the maple neck with 4 screws, and the strings lead into a vintage tremolo tailpiece.
This is a very interesting sounding stratocaster, on dry it offers strong bass and ringing highs with slightly suppressed mids, sending a noble sound full of upper harmonics into the machine. The cream lacquered body has an interesting, slightly greenish tint. Recommended to try.
Sold in BAZAAR VAT inclusive of the original hard case.
