Here is an exceptionally rare 1982 Fullerton Fender Stratocaster in Lake Placid Blue.  Comes with its original duck foot case and case candy.Everything is as it should be and dated correctly to 1982.  These are the best Stratocaster's out there for less than £10,000. Anyone is welcome to come and view the Strat or chat on the phone, 07943 633860.   Part exchange is much preferred, I get different guitars landing on my doorstep every week and I'm always interested in making a deal. Fender is, after all, a business, and a business which was sold to CBS in 1965 which resulted in significant cuts to quality that begin to appear after the conclusion of the 1963 to late 1965 L-series number plates.  Indeed, some Fender models in this early transition period held up in terms of quality until around mid 1966, but sadly fall off the collectible scale dramatically afterwards, as does their price tag.  It was not until 1982 that Fender went back to basics and started creating instruments at the old Fullerton plant where quality, investment grade instruments once again began to exist.  These instruments are the 1982 to 1984 Fullerton models.  Sadly, the Fullerton plant has now gone due to a fire.  The result was a move to the now Corona plant, where Fender instruments become more mass produced, losing some of the fine qualities that made Fender what they were originally in the 50's and early 60's. I will post worldwide, buyer payers everything fully insured.  The pound is weak so its a good time for Europe and America to buy from the UK. Please ask for an accurate shipping cost.  I generally only use FedEx or TNT.  Cash on collection, personal cheque or bank transfer are my preferred payment options. If you have any questions please drop me a message if you require additional information or photographs.
