Description

Cosmetic Condition:  Excellent condition overall & very well cared for.  The guitar was professionally re-lacquered & looks amazing.  There are a few minor nicks & dings along with surface scratches & small finish chips on the top of the headstock.  Great vintage vibe with a beautiful patina.

Neck:  Nicely rounded maple neck with skunk stripe & black side dots.  Beautiful, dark rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays.  Original frets are in great shape with hardly any wear.  Double string trees & bullet truss rod.  There's quite a bit of really stunning bird's eye figuring all over the neck that really makes it stand out.  The original tuners were replaced with a no-name brand, but they work well with the guitar.  The neck is straight & the truss rod works fine.  1 5/8" nut width; 25 1/2" scale length.

Body:  Solid northern ash body in natural finish.  Hard tail bridge with adjustable saddles.  3-ply black pickguard.  The serial number underneath the pickguard matches the serial number on the headstock.  Guitar weighs 9 lbs 11 oz.

Pickups:  Three single coils all date to '78.  Bridge - 5.68K ohms; Middle - 5.66K ohms; Neck - 5.69K ohms.  Master volume & dual tone controls; 5-way selector switch.  All electronics are in perfect working condition.

Playability / Sound:  Nice, low action with a smooth playing neck.  Classic, vintage Strat tone - very dynamic!

Case:  Original hardshell case included.
