I've owned this guitar from new. It is an all-original, near perfect example of a 1968 reissue Fender Stratocaster from 1997. It has been played for about 20 minutes in total so is not showing any signs of wear at all. This is a much sought after CIJ (Crafted in Japan) guitar. For an excellent background on this period of Fender's production just Google Xhefri Guitars or click and scroll to the bottom to see this exact guitar (a new window will open). The body is split Ash finished in natural gloss. The neck is a maple on maple with a 21 fret laminated fret board. It has the large headstock, like on the Hendrix signature Strats from that period. The bridge is the vintage style with Fender written on each saddle. The pickguard is white-black-white. All hardware and electronics are original. This guitar has the thickest gloss finish I've ever seen, and apparently is characteristic of these much sought after CIJ models. The guitar comes in hard case with a set of strings. Viewings are welcome (Bridgend, South Wales). Collection in person is recommend but if the buyer wants to arrange a courier collection I will ensure it is well packed.Call or text Alex with any questions 07730 986952
