Fender Strat

For your consideration is this drop dead awesome Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster FMT HSS.  This fine instrument is in dead mint new condition.  There is not a mark on the guitar or case.  I purchased this strat, and a few other items, from a music store that has gone out of business.  This guitar had not even seen the light of day until I took it out of the box, and has less than 5 minutes of playing time on it, just to check that everything works perfectly, which it does.

These Strats are now discontinued, and you would have to go through the Fender Custom Shop to have one built for you.  These sold new for $2495.00  The Flamed Maple Top is stunning on this instrument, and is truly complimented with the Tobacco Sunburst Finish.  The finish on this guitar made it most difficult to photograph. 

The body is Select Clear Alder, with the Modern C-shaped 9.5" Radius Maple neck.  The fingerboard is Ebony with gorgeous Abalone inlay and 22 medium jumbo frets.  The scale length is 25.5", and the Width at the Nut is 1.6875".  It also features the unbelievable DH-1 Humbucking Bridge Pickup, with two Samarium Cobalt Noiseless middle and neck pickups AND THE S-1 SWITCHING SYSTEM.  The tonal options on this guitar are endless, and she screams.  Other features include the 5 Position Blade Pickup Switch, the Master Volume Control with the push on/push off S-1 Switch, a Master No-Load Tone Control, the deluxe two-point synchronized tremolo with pop-in arm which is included, as well as Schaller Deluxe Staggered Locking Tuners, and the famous LSR Roller Nut.

The Deluxe Brown Hardshell Case is included, and contains all the goodies shown in the photo including the extra tremolo springs, pop-in tremolo arm, Fender cable, Fender strap, all hang tags, warranty card, and all original paperwork etc.

This fine instrument will be carefully packaged, insured and shipped via FedEx.
