Sweet Old Strat. Plays and sounds realy good. If you know about old Squiers than I wont have to tell you how great they were. This one is mid 80s E serial Number. Made in Korea. Frets are smooth and play well If not happy feel free to return for refund. I have replaced the nut with Fender replacement parts. And there is a chunk of wood missing in front of the nut as well. See pics. This doesn't effect playability or sound at all.
