Fender Strat

Probably the best strat to come out of Japan and one of the rarest (500 produced). This is the Richie Blackmore tribute guitar. Don't confuse it with the latest copy coming out of Mexico.They are far from the same in crafstsmanship, playability, sound, or collectibility. I am the original owner. This guitar was purchased brand new and not ever played as a display model at the store, it has never left my home, and been carefully played by me probably 6 to 8 hours total. I have other guitars that are not so rare that I play. Needless to say it is mint. It comes with the original whammy bar (never installed), original owners manual, spec manual, and warranty manual. Also included are the two original allen adjustment wrenches. I am including a beautiful $150 case which is a copy of a vintage tweed travel case which fits the guitar perfectly. The case is also in mint condition. The guitar serial number is A000706. If you wish to look it up on Fender's website, it is a "Crafted in Japan" model and will show production for 1997 to 1998.
