Hi,
I am selling a 1974 Fender Stratocaster which i purchased from a local guitar shop 2 years ago. The guitar sounds amazing and feels great. Still the best strat I've ever played and owned.
The condition is in relic but there are no cracks in the body and the neck. The wood is solid (alder body) and the finish looks road-worn as the paint has faded in a some areas of the body. Some of the neck lacquer has also worn off but is still smooth and easy to play. The action is very good as well and the neck is very straight. The thin rosewood veneer fretboard is also in good condition as there are no dents and cracks. Frets have also been replaced by the previous owner so it feels and looks quite new. Intonation is also perfect.
Everything is original except for the pick ups which have been replaced by the previous owner to a Lindy Fralin Vintage Hot Pickups Set for Fender Stratocaster With Base Plate. The base plate is mounted on the bridge pickup and IMHO is the best single coil pickup when cranked with an overdrive pedal. The guitar comes with a vintage hard shell case.
It's really difficult to part ways with the guitar. I have really taken good care of it, despite it looking like a road worn instrument. I'm looking at selling the guitar for $3000 (firm) which is MUCH MUCH cheaper than how much I got it for. I can be open for trades (trade value is $3300) as long as I don't top up. Will consider cheaper guitars, more specifically Gibson LP's (not studio's please) and Suhrs plus cash if the value of the item is lower.
Thanks!
