The guitar pictured is the actual guitar you will receive! At The Farm, we take actual pictures of each instrument and make sure they are fully set-up and ready to play before we ship them. Each instrument goes through a multi-point inspection, followed by a set-up process by our in-house tech staff. We then photograph each instrument with high-quality equipment in our on-site photography studio. We know that details like wood grain and color finishes can vary, so we want you to be able to see, to the best of our ability, exactly what you will be receiving. This process takes over an hour for each instrument - from inspection to pictures. We care about the instrument we put into your hands! Rest assured your guitar was not just plucked off of a shelf and drop-shipped to you from a warehouse without the care that it, and you, deserve.   A tonally versatile gutiar with time honored Fender style and sound, this Deluxe Strat has a few tricks up its sleeve. Special switching unlocks extra pickup combinations for those moments you find yourself needing a little extra kick to stand out. Combining noise free performance with enhanced playing comfort, this sleek instrument is a truly deluxe performer that excels on stage and in the studio.  The 3 Vintage Noiseless single coil pickups produce all the brilliant pristine, well defined tone of vintage single coil Strat pickups, with no hum.  This guitar features a fretboard radius that, at 12", is substantially more flattened than both a vintage style 7.25" radius and a modern 9.5" radius. Feels notably flat even though there's still slight curvature-great for bending notes without fretting out.  This Stratocaster features a two point tremolo bridge with vintage style saddles for superior intonation, sustain, tuning stability, tremolo action and ease of adjustment, along with an extra touch of original-era authenticity.  Placed discretely between the tone controls, the push/push mini switch on this guitar activates the bridge pickup when the pickup selector is in positions four and five. These new pickup combinations enhance the already flexible sound.  The body of this Strat is made of Ash. Strong and dense, Ash is a longtime Fender classic for electric instrument bodies. Notably resonant and sweet sounding, it's characterized by clearly chiming highs, well defined midrange and strong low end. It also features an attractive grain accentuated by light colored finishes.  Features: Double cutaway electric guitar Three Vintage Noiseless Strat pickups Push/push mini-switch adds bridge pickup in positions four and five Two-point synchronized tremolo bridge with bent steel saddles 12”-radius fretboard; contoured neck heel; locking tuning machines Includes deluxe gig bag    This guitar came from Fender as a slight flaw, which means slight cosmetic flaw or an overstock item.
