Purchased Spring 2014. This one was from the first production run for this model. The 2-piece book-matched Alder body looks seamless. The 3-tone sunburst has that great 3d effect coming from the wood grain. The body feels more resonant than any strat I've ever played. A true player's guitar as much as it is a museum piece. Comes with:Hardshell Tweed CaseErnie Ball Strap & Dunlop Strap LocksFull Internal Copper ShieldingRaw Vintage Tremolo SpringsCondition is excellent. No scuffs or scratches. Only 2 small blemishes. One by the headstock, the other near the jack. Both are pictured (last 2 pics). This is one of those "I really don't wanna sell it, but I need the $$$" listings. This guitar is also posted locally on Craigslist, therefore it can go at any time.
