Description
What’s special about this guitar: This is a somewhat rare 1980 Fender Strat guitar with some pretty special features. This guitar featured X-1 single coils with a hotter wound X-1 in the bridge for playing lead. It also has a two-way rotary switch to select different pickup combinations depending on the pickup selector setting for even more versatility. This particular one has a great transfer of vibration and sound through the neck and body giving it some great resonance.
Condition:This guitar is in very good overall shape! There are various surface scratches, and a few small nicks, dings, dents and chips throughout the guitar. It is very clean for its age! This guitar came to us as part of a larger collection and has a custom engraved neck plate. Some soldering work has been done and all electronics and parts are in perfect working condition.
