I'm David Bennett, and I'm gradually listing on eBay my remaining collection of about 30 mostly high-end electric guitars - you'll also see some "Guitar Bible" book/magazines & possibly various guitar spares & accessories - you may know me from 99 Guitars Ltd (which I may soon be looking to sell) but I'm selling these guitars as private sales - mostly Gibson Les Paul, Fender Strat & Tele, PRS, but also a Suhr & a couple of Rickenbacker - please notice my 100% 5-star feedback with over 1500 eBay sales over a 9 year period with 99 Guitars Ltd :-) Please to view all my current eBay listings - if you have any questions, I'm on 07739-314261 any time, or email me direct at   And no problem if you're new to eBay, or have zero or low feedback - I always encourage buyers to ask me questions, and I can promise you a fast & friendly reply. This listing is for ... 1996 Fender USA Stratocaster Lone Star HSS Electric Guitar Stunning "Sunburst" Finish on Alder Body, Maple Neck Original, Unmodified, and Genuine "Made in USA" * Great Investment Potential ... Excellent Condition * Original Fender Vintage Hard Case * FREE Next-Day UK Delivery
This one's a gorgeous 1996 Fender USA Stratocaster Lone Star HSS electric guitar - the guitar is highly collectable & a great example of a premium Fender USA model - this model was made between 1996 and 1999 so this guitar is from first year of production - the guitar build quality & components are top class & of course the sound is just fabulous - I bought this guitar direct from the original owner, another collector/player. Of particular note is the stunning Sunburst gloss finish on Premium Alder Body with Maple Neck & Fretboard showing very distinctive wood grain - comfortable "medium C" neck profile, 22 frets, volume & tone controls, 5-way pickup switch, 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, original tuners & tremolo etc - original pickups; two Texas Special single-coil, one Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates Plus humbucker - fabulous attention to detail & build quality. By now you will know that prices for high-end Fender guitars have continued to rise sharply - I think this guitar offers excellent value with great investment potential - I'm always deluged with enquiries whenever I list a particularly nice guitar - please let me know quick if this is the one you want. Condition :-  "Excellent" - the guitar is 20 years old & had been played, but has mostly just been stored away recently - no breaks & no repairs - I do think the guitar looks & sounds fabulous - it's also very clean & has been well loved - I think the colour & overall look is well represented in the photos - everything works as it should, there are no issues. The guitar plays very smoothly, it's nicely set up & ready to play - the guitar is well-balanced, and is a good weight at about 8.0 lbs. If you're looking for a collectable Fender USA Strat, for playing, display or investment, and at a sensible price, this could be the one for you - I think the overall look & immense sound make this particular guitar a very special & desirable instrument - the guitar is exactly as seen in the photos, and I would welcome any questions or inspection. Case :-  the original Fender vintage-style hard case is included, as shown - Excellent Condition, all the hinges & catches work well. Also included :-  original Fender black leather guitar strap, tremolo arm, brand new spare set of strings, as shown - I usually have accessories (leads, strings, etc) and other Fender goodies available at no extra charge, if you ask nicely :-) and a free copy of "The Fender Guitar Bible" (or alternative, see my other listings for details) but please tell me if you want this ...
