Description
What makes this guitar special: The most notable aspect of this Strat has to be how incredibly clean it is for its age. It even still has the original pickguard plastic in place and looks like it’s never been lifted, although it is starting to bubble in a few places from age. The body shows only a few small dings, dents, and light scratches, but is still super clean for nearly 20 years old. Outside of its condition, the pickups sound fantastic across the board from the warm and round neck position to the pop and snap of the three middle positions, and the chime and jangle in the bridge. Besides all that, it’s really just a great playing Strat in a classic color that will make a solid addition to most any roster.
Condition: This Strat is in excellent condition overall. It does have a few small dings and dents here and there, as well as a few light scratches, but is incredibly clean for a ’97 and it shows. It even still has the original pickguard plastic. The frets are barely worn and still have a full lifetime of playing left in them. The neck is comfortable and the truss rod is functioning.
