Just took in quite a few demo models from a dealer friend of mine, I have noted all the issues in the item condition, so please check that out before buying. All of these guitars play amazing and the electronics work perfectly. Here are the specs on this one... weighs in at 7lbs 12oz according to my digital postal scale.
The American Vintage '56 Stratocaster takes you straight back to mid-1956, when the model was still new and when what is quite possibly the most prized and popular neck ever affixed to the instrument first appeared-a thick one-piece maple neck with a soft "V" shape, comfortably rounded edges and a then-new butterfly string tree on the headstock. Such meticulous authenticity even extends to the single-ply white pickguard with eight holes, lightweight alder body (ash on white blonde) with deep contours, and vintage-accurate pickups (alnico 3 pickups debuted in 1956), bridge saddles, tuner spacing and more.The American Vintage series introduces an all-new lineup of original-era model year guitars that bring Fender history and heritage to authentic and exciting new life. With key features and pivotal design elements spanning the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s, new American Vintage series instruments delve deep into Fender's roots-expertly preserving an innovative U.S. guitar-making legacy and vividly demonstrating like never before that Fender not only knows where it's going, but also remembers where it came from.The American Vintage Series has long presented some of Fender's best selling guitars (their early-'80s introduction, in fact, was one of the first signs that Fender was "back" as the CBS era ended). Today, Fender has boldly cleared the slate to make way for a fresh American Vintage series with new features, new specs and the most meticulous level of vintage accuracy yet. Rather than just replacing the previous models with different ones, they've completely and comprehensively re-imagined the entire vintage-reissue concept-restoring original tooling dies, voicing new pickups, reformulating vintage colors and more-based on actual vintage guitars they tracked down to make sure they had it right. Fender did the work, and it shows, because there's pure tonal magic in each new American Vintage instrument. Includes case.

I will be listing quite a few in the next few weeks, so please check my other auctions... I buy, sell and trade from dealers and guitar friends all over the world, so I get these at a great price, and pass the savings on to you.  (Mostly do this fund my own crazy guitar addiction).  I am not a dealer, just a huge guitar fanatic.

I will ship to anywhere in the world.  Paypal users must have a confirmed and verified address (and I will only ship to this address)... I ship UPS for USA and Canada shipping,  Ups for international shipping.
Shipping will generally run about $200 for worldwide, but please contact me first for an exact shipping quote if you are buying from another country... Also, you the buyer are responsible for any taxes your country charges you on the shipment. They can be high, sometimes up to 30% or more depending on your country.  Please email first with any questions pertaining to customs fees, and I will do my best to answer them for you, I ship overseas all the time, and have become pretty good at it ; ) .  Due to the overwhelming number of recent returns (for no real reason), I will no longer accept returns unless the item is not as described.  All my guitars are mint in the box, unless otherwise noted. I can no longer accept returns for reasons such as "the neck is too thick for my small hands", or "My dog just died and I have to pay for a funeral for him".  You would not believe the crazy excuses I get, not because the guitar is not exactly as described, but just because the buyer changed their minds. I am sorry to have to do this, but it is very time consuming, and gets pretty expensive in fees.Thank you for your understanding.

Please ask any and all questions, you will love this beauty, and please check my other auctions for some more amazing and rare guitars.
