This beautiful guitar is one of 5 lots I'm forced to sell due to downsizing at home. I am in my late sixties and now retired so my collection has to be drastically cut. I have been building Strats since 1980 and have sold a lot over the years my objection was to keep the best, but now I'm reluctantly even having to part with some of those. This particular guitar is another I built using a '57/'62 Strat AVRI body bought from the Stratosphere USA in 2009, it was originally in a relic state and looked a mess but very light at 3lb 10oz. I refinished it in Daphne Blue Nitro.The neck is 10" radius superb Musikraft "private stock" with phenomenal Birds Eye Maple covering it's entire length with Brazilian Rosewood board and came with bone nut fitted, it cost over £360 in it's bare state! It has Gotoh vintage tuners, Medium 6105 frets (which do have some light wear) and a Medium "C" profile, it's 1"&11/16ths" across the bone nut. The bridge is Fender USA vintage as used on custom shop guitars, the Pickups are Fender Pure Vintage '59 and everything on or off the Aged white Pickguard with full '62 shield is genuine Fender, pots, switch,knobs, even the screws and strap buttons, I never fit anything else on the guitars I intended to keep, the quality of my guitars compares with anything from the custom shop. To sum up, this guitar is in immaculate condition, with just two visible marks on the body, a light scratch near the back strap button and a light ding on the bottom edge, as shown in the photos, light patches are just flash reflection. It has fabulous tone and plays superb, just thumb through my 100% seller feedback which will bare witness. As requested, 3 outdoor photos added.Please note: I'm afraid to say it's become apparent there's a current culture of claiming guitars are arriving damaged in order to claim a partial refund. It has happened to me twice now and after offering a total refund for the return of the item, both buyers decided to hang on to the items -- Hmm! Sorry but if your up to this mularkey please buy elsewhere. To this end I would much prefer the guitar to be collected if at all possible. Please checkout my other top notch guitars for sale, thank you.  Ps: The nickname on the rear of the headstock is only in pen and will be removed on sale of the item
