Read moreabout the condition Brand: Fender Body Material: Solid Wood Body Type: Solid String Configuration: 6 String Model: S-1 Size: Full Size Right-/ Left-Handed: Right-Handed Items Included: Case Body Colour: Gold Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
Position five: bridge and middle pickups wired in series and out of phase, in parallel with neck pickup The S-1 Switching is a great addition to Humbucker-equipped Strats as it adds more tonal variation than any other. The bridge is the American Standard 2-point fulcrum model with ‘powdered’ steel saddles, a firm favourite of Mr. Jeff Beck.The pickups in this guitar are Fender Tex-Mex single coils with a Diamondback humbucker in the bridge. This is a great contrast tonally making it a highly versatile electric guitar and also only available with S-1 switching between the years 2003-2007.The guitar is currently set up beautifully with 10 gauge Ernie Ball strings and plays and sounds wonderful.Not a guitar for the Stratocaster purist but definitely one for a modern player that wants a strat with more meat and modern appointments.The other note on this guitar is that it is an ‘Anniversary’ model, which does not make it any better or worse than any other guitar, nor does it make it any more valuable, it simply means that it was built in 2006 when Fender celebrated the 60th anniversary of the company, not the Strat, Tele or specific guitar, the brand. Hence all guitars made in 2006 having a small badge applied.The rosewood on this guitar I believe to be Indian, it’s smooth and dark as it should be on guitars in my opinion.I take a lot of care over guitars in my possession and make sure that they are gig ready. I have studied Stratocasters for 25 years and have a book published on them,So, please be assured you’re buying a solid Stratocaster from someone that genuinely knows what they’re talking about.I inspect every guitar I find with a fine tooth comb to ensure that only good ones pass through my hands; I don’t sell anything that I wouldn’t be comfortable with gigging or just owning.This one, does actually pain me to sell as it is a very fine example, alas, I’d have a house full of Strats if I kept all of them.Comes complete with moulded Fender case (mint also) tremolo arm and woven strap. No paperwork or extras. It’s ready to hit the stage and cover all types of music you can push through it.Preferably, I’d like to meet, have a brew and deal away from here, so drop me an email and we may be able to sort something.If not, I can ship insured.Any questions; please email.Good luck.
