PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE LISTING BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS OR PURCHASING THIS ITEM.
Up for sale is this beautiful 2003 USA made Fender American Stratocaster Guitar in a nice white factory finish that has turned a beautiful cream color over the years. This guitar is in amazing condition considering it’s 21 + years old.
The bridge and arm both look to be in extremely great shape for their age.
Truss rod functions as it should. Frets are in good shape with no indentations and plenty of life left in them.
There is only one ding on the back of the neck which is behind the 7th fret. (See Pics)
The finish on this guitar has only a couple small nicks or dings in the finish but nothing major. Most of them are on the sides of the guitar and can’t be seen unless you are looking at the back of the guitar. The worst ding is on the bottom side of the body just by the pick guard. (See Pics) There are some lite scratches or marks along the back side of the guitar towards the rear strap button area, but again nothing that major and are not visible when playing the guitar. These are more than likely from the cable being routed around the strap.
Ask for pics if you need to see more of this area. The finish on this guitar is still in great condition otherwise. Especially considering that this guitar is over 21 years old. See the pictures and judge for yourself.
I have a ton of pictures of this but eBay will only allow 24 pics to be added to the listing so if you need to see anything specific please let me know and I’ll send you what ever pics I have of what you are requesting to see.
The screw in style Trem arm is included along with a used Road Runner Polyfoam case that has some condition issues but will protect the guitar for shipping and should work for protecting the guitar for storage as it has done in my collection.
I don’t believe the strap buttons are original to the guitar. They look to be strap lock style strap buttons but I never had the strap with the other part of the strap buttons. These strap buttons were already installed on the guitar when I bought this guitar over 15 years ago. I’ve never played this guitar standing up but rather in my studio sitting down so I never had a need to replace them but you certainly can if you wish.
I just put a fresh new set of D’addario strings 9 gauge extra light.
I have this guitar set up with low action however as with any guitar, you may want to have the guitar professionally set up to your liking but the guitar plays and sounds great as is.
The rear tremolo cavity cover plate had the Fender Bullet Strings sticker on it from the factory which was obviously left on too long and so it didn’t change color at the same rate as the rest of the cover plate. So now you have the outline of that sticker shape on the cover plate. (See Pics)
