Description
Condition: This is a great playing vintage Fender guitar! The red finish looks awesome and the headstock has developed a very light patina giving this guitar a great vintage vibe! There are various scratches and small nicks, dings and dents throughout the instrument. The wood surrounding the bottom four bridge screws has cracked due to the tension created from the bridge. There is some light warping of the wood on the cracks but they are holding together just fine showing no movement when strung up to pitch. There are some cracks around some of the pickguard screw holes but these are also holding together fine. Fingerboard and frets have only moderate play wear and plenty of life left in them. The neck is mostly straight and the truss rod functions fine. There is currently a small wire going from the bridge to the shielding beneath the pickguard acting as a ground. This is unoriginal but works. All electronics and parts are in perfect working condition.
Body: Solid double-cutaway body in red finish. Vibrato tailpiece with six individual saddles. Trem arm is missing. Dual skirted control knobs with “F” logo inserts and a 3-ply aged white pickguard.
Neck: Nicely rounded, slender maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard. Pearloid dot inlays and a 1 5/8” nut. Sealed Fender tuners with ivoroid buttons, 24” scale length.
Pickups/Electronics: Single-coil pickup in the bridge position with master volume and tone controls.
Pickup: 5.57K Ohms.
Weight: 6lbs, 12.0oz.
Playability/Sound: This guitar offers a truly classic look, sound and feel. The pickup sounds excellent and offers a bright sound with plenty of output. The tone control can easily be utilized to achieve a warmer sound if desired. The neck is very comfortable and suitable for virtually any playing style.
Case: Includes newer model Fender hardshell case.
