What makes this guitar special:  A fabulous player's grade Strat from the '70s with a cool vintage vibe & killer tone!  The original finish was stripped & the pickups have been swapped out with Eric Johnson cloth wire single coils.  Despite its less than original appearance, the guitar is a marvelous player with great feel.  Professionally set up by the experts at Cream City Music so she's ready for action straight out of the case.Cosmetic Condition:  Cool vintage vibe with typical play wear - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches & some finish wear.  The original finish was stripped off the body quite some time ago & there's black shielding paint inside the cavity routes.  At one point there was a four-bolt neck on the body as evidenced by the filled holes & ghosting mark left behind.  Overall the guitar has a great look to it with a nice patina.Neck:  Nicely rounded maple neck with 'skunk stripe' & black dot inlays.  Frets show some wear, but have plenty of life in them.  Oversize headstock with bullet truss rod & double string trees.  Original F-tuners are in perfect working condition.  1 5/8" nut width; 25 1/2" scale length.  Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.  It's difficult to read the neck date because the ink has faded quite a bit over the years, but it looks like it could date to '72, but we're not 100% sure.Body:  Contoured, solid ash body in natural finish.  Tremolo bridge with adjustable saddles & trem arm included.  3-ply white pickguard is in great shape with no cracks.  Guitar weighs 7 lbs 7.7 oz.Pickups:  The original pickups were removed & replaced with newer Fender Eric Johnson single coil Strat pickups with the EJ logo underneath them.  Cloth wire with sweet, vintage-style tones.  Master volume & tone controls with 5-way selector switch.  All electronics are in perfect working condition.Case:  Original hardshell case included.  The two outside clasps do not really close & lock in very well, but the middle one works fine.
