Members Londonbus Posted November 10, 2017 Members Share Posted November 10, 2017 2017 Fender "Road Worn" 50's Stratocaster. Lightweight at 7lbs, 3oz. Excellent "Relic" condition (If there is such a thing). No fret wear or any issues of any kind. Pickguard was replaced with a light relic Fender Custom Shop 8-hole anodized pickguard for a more unique early 50s look. I also buffed-off whatever cloudy white gunk that Fender sprays the Road Worn finishes down with to make them look "dull and aged"... Funny thing is, the nitro-lacquer finish underneath that stuff looks even more "legit" vintage than if they never put it on in the first place. Pics really don't do justice to the vintage vibe it gives off. Tremolo springs were replaced with higher quality USA made springs from a Fender "American Vintage" 65 Stratocaster for much better tremolo action and smoothness. Besides that, it is stock. Grossly underrated Fender Tex-Mex pickups sound outstanding and very "classic Strat", especially in the 2 and 4 positions. Soft V profile neck which feels nice and broken in and is super smooth. 7.25 radius fretboard with 6105 medium size frets. Professional setup and intonation, currently strung with D'Addario NYXL 11s. Trem arm and backplate are included. Includes a genuine, Made in USA, Fender "G&G" classic vintage style case (Cost over $200 new). Will also include all the original Fender booklets and hang tags it originally came with.

Members Mike Keister Posted September 21, 2019 Members Share Posted September 21, 2019 Hello, I have a teal Epiphone casino. I have since upgraded it with a bigsby tremelo, Black DiMarzio p90 pickups, and Gibson tuners. Paid $450 new about 12 years ago at Ed Roman in Las vegas. Plus another $400 for the upgrades. I can send lots of pics if you might be interested in a trade for your strat. Thanks---Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
