Hi guys, up for sale is the above. Basically, it's an American Vintage '62 Reissue Stratocaster, in 3-tone sunburst and gold hardware, though a bit tarnished. Slight scratches here and there with buckle rash at the back. Comes with original hardcase and case candies.
What sets this apart from other AVRI '62 Stratocasters is the fact that only 1997 pieces were made...in 1997. This is No. 1246 out of 1997. I don't really know the circumstances behind this Collectors Edition Stratocaster, but here are the specs taken from the internet for your convenience, because it is not easy to find it:
Model Name: 1997 Collector's Edition Stratocaster
Model Number: 010-1997-(800)
Series: Limited Edition Series
Body: Alder ('62 Strat body)
Neck: Maple ('62 Strat neck) Nitro-cellulose finish on neck only
Fingerboard: Rosewood with white pearl dot inlays (7.25" Radius / 184mm)
No. of frets: 21 (American Standard)
Scale length: 25.5" (648mm)
Width at nut: 1.650" (42mm)
Hardware: Gold plated US Vintage Hardware
Special engraved Gold Plated Neck Plate (Serialized 1246 out of 1997)
Machine Heads: Gold US Vintage
Bridge: Gold US Vintage
Pickguard: 3-ply Brown shell
Pickups: 3 Texas Special Single Coils
Pickup Switching: 5 position selector switch (Vintage wiring)
Controls: Master volume, Tone (Neck), Tone (Mid)
Colour: 3-colour sunburst (Lacquer)
Unique features: Special '1997' Inlay at 12th fret
Accessories: Deluxe Brown Tolex Case with gold plush lining, brown leather vintage strap
Plays beautifully. Only reason why I'm letting it go is because I prefer a maple fretboard. So here's the deal: I don't mind a trade, but I prefer to either trade to another Stratocaster of the same value, or lower value, like an American Standard or American Deluxe. I also do not mind Peavey Wolfgangs or EBMM Axis. Whatever guitar you offer, it has to have a maple fretboard. If you offer a lower-valued guitar, then you can either top up with cash (amount to be discussed) or with certain pedals that I am looking for. Please refer to the list below of what I'm looking for:
1) Mad Professor Forest Green Compressor
2) Keeley Compressor (2 knob or 4...I don't mind either)
3) TC Electronic Flashback Delay
4) TC Electronic Nova Delay (iB or not, it doesn't matter)
5) TC Electronic Nova Repeater
6) TC Electronic Nova Modulator (Will only accept this if I can sell my Eventide Modfactor)
...or any other good compressor or delay.
I am not interested in ANY other guitars, though. Only the above guitars. And I am not interested in trading up.
Trade value of my guitar is $2000. However, cash is always preferred, and if so, I will let it go for $1800. So to recap:
Trade value: $2000 (guitar, or guitar+cash, or guitar+effects, cash+effects)
Cash sale: $1800
Interested, pls SMS me at 92980224. Thank you.
