2012 Fender Classic Series stratocaster in Surf Green. I bought this guitar new in 2012. This a great example of a 50's replica Fender strat. This guitar has a great low end to it that makes it louder and fuller than other strats that I own and have played. I am selling because I get along better with the modern flatter radius fretboards. This guitar has a vintage specced neck radius. Please see the manufacturer specs and features below. Everything is original on the guitar, including the original three alnico classic series pickups. The backplate is missing in the photos to show the block and springs, but it will be included on the guitar, along with the tremolo arm. If you have any concerns or questions, please let me know.The guitar has a sizable chip on the side of the lower body where the forearm rests, plus another very small chip next to it (second to last picture). Then there is another very small chip on the lower bout of the body (last picture). The large chip occurred during shipping when I originally acquired the guitar in 2012. The guitar has only been played in the house, and has never been gigged. ORIGINAL GIG BAG INCLUDED IN SALE. The gig bag is in very good condition with no tears, clean and fully functional. I did not include a picture of the bag because I wanted to focus on accurately representing the guitar. CLASSIC ’50S STRAT® STYLEFor guitarists who must have the instrument’s original-era tone, look and feel, the Classic Series ’50s Stratocaster epitomizes the guitar in the decade of its debut, with unmistakable early Strat® style and sparkling sound. With its authentic vintage-style features and finishes, everything about it takes you back to the time of diners, “Ike for President,” cars with fins, a wild new kind of music called rock ‘n’ roll and an upstart little Southern California company called Fender.FEATURESMaple neck with “soft V”-shaped profile and “small” headstock7.25”-radius maple fingerboard with 21 vintage-style fretsVintage-style single-coil Stratocaster pickups with staggered pole piecesModern five-way pickup switchAged control knobs and switch tipVintage-style synchronized tremolo bridgeVINTAGE-STYLE SINGLE-COIL PICKUPSThis instrument features vintage-style single-coil pickups that expertly evoke the sound and style of classic Fender guitars from the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s."SOFT V" NECK PROFILEThe "soft V" neck profile (the shape of the neck in cross section) on this instrument has a distinctly comfortable fretting-hand feel that takes the more pronounced sharpness of a ’50s "V" profile and "softens" it into a somewhat more rounded shape. Ideal for players with larger hands whose thumb extends over the edge of the fingerboard.VINTAGE-STYLE SIX-SADDLE SYNCHRONIZED TREMOLO BRIDGEWith authentic design and performance that evokes the Stratocasters of the 1950s and ’60s, this model features a vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge with six saddles.
