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 I built using a vintage routed Swamp Ash body from Guitar build UK when they first started trading, it's ultra light at 3lb 5oz costing £250+ unfinished. I refinished it in Cobalt Blue Pearl and clear coat which is an oil based paint that mimics Nitro but without the hassle.The neck is a superb 10" radius Musikraft "private stock" bought back in 2008 with beautiful Tiger Stripes and "Pau Ferro" board which is getting hard to find now and was very expensive. It has Real Clay dots, Fender Logo Gotoh vintage tuners, Medium Jumbo 6150 frets (with very light wear 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 vintage '57/'62s 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 and unmarked as shown in the photos. It has amazing tone due to it's superlight resonant body and the Pau Ferro board which gives a brighter tone somewhere between a Maple and Rosewood neck, it also plays superb. Just thumb through my 100% seller feedback which will bare witness. Sorry, although pictured with it, there is NO case with this guitar, but it will be securely boxed. 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 ( the colour of which is similar to my Wife's Puma Racing known as the "bumpy car") is only in pen and will be removed on sale of the item.
