I purchased this guitar 3 weeks ago directly from Fender. It plays like a dream. This guitar is still basically brand new. It has less than 5 hours of play time and remains in its case other wise. This guitar would have been played much more sitting on a shelf in guitar center. I am selling because I personally prefer my new Telecaster I recently purchased. My price is firm and fair as this guitar retails for $1399. No returns on this item.
