FEATURES:
1. Wonderful C-shape maple neck with 9.5'' radius rosewood fretboard, medium jumbo frets with minimal wear, comfortable rolled fretboard edges and nice velvety feel of the back from years of playing. Small crack on the treble side on the side of the rosewood fretboard at frets 5-6-7, but doesn't affect playing. Equipped with Fender Japan tuners with vintage-style buttons, these hold tuning very well. Neck is a true pleasure to play, no buzz even with low action. Truss-rod works smoothly and is adjusted at the headstock.
2. Two-piece Alder body with balanced weight and beautiful wood grain. Velvet feel thanks to Tung Oil treatment, deep contouring just like on a vintage Stratocaster, HSS body routing - so you can install a full-size humbucker in the bridge position. No paint or lacquer plus 26 years of wood drying give amazing body resonance, this guitar is seriously loud acoustically, with deep lows, balanced mids and shimmering highs. New Fender Custom Shop Red tortoishell pickguard is gorgeous. Aged cream pickup covers and ivory knobs fit nicely with the body colour.
3. Fender Japan ceramic pickups with double bar magnets give this Stratocaster a lot of oomph and an amazing tonal palette, these can handle a lot of gain without any unwanted squealing. Dime-size Fender Japan A250K pots and ceramic capacitor.
4. Fender synchronised tremolo with steel tremolo block for more resonance and sustain. Currently set with 3 springs, allows very smooth tremolo action.
EXTRAS:
1. Old-school canvas carry bag
2. Carlsbro black guitar strap
3. 3x Fender Medium plectrums

Saddles replacement - we recommend stunning Graphtech saddles that will make you forget about breaking strings or tuning problems! 6. Tuner replacement - we recommend locking tuners on any occasion. Thanks to increased rigidity of the contact point between the string and the tuners we can hear a nice increase in sustain and tuning stability. We can also source locking tuners that look exactly like your favorite Kluson classic tuners used on most of vintage Strats, but have a locking mechanism on top (Gotoh Magnum Lock). Only this type of locking tuners will fit into smaller 8.5-9mm headstock holes on any vintage or vintage reissue Fenders or Gibsons. 6.
