Fender Strat

FLAMED MAPLE NECK, VINTAGE VIBE, PLAYERS FEATURES!!!

This is a Custom Made Fender Stratocaster.  What originally attracted me to this guitar are the flame maple neck and the full size 1 3/4 inch body.  Two features rarely found in import strats.  I installed a tortoise shell pickguard loaded with genuine Fender (mij, Japan) Japanese 1960's reissue AlNiCo magnet pickups.  These pickups are from the 1980's, have an AWESOME vintage tone and a great 'Quack' in the 2 and 4 switch position.  I also installed a set of Sperzel USA locking tuners.  This guitar began life as a 1996 Affinity Squier by Fender Strat, made in China, MIC.  Do not judge by this, as it is a great guitar.  I will include the original loaded pickguard and tuners.

• Flamey Maple neck

Everything works as it should, including the truss rod.  This guitar is used but in good condition.  The body has a handfull of dings and scuffs, but overal in nice shape... no Levi rivet marks or buckle rash on the back.  The back of the neck is for the most part smooth... a few very light marks, nothing annoying.  One tiny ding on the back of the headstock.  The frets and fingerboard are in great shape.  The neck is AWESOME, no picture could do justice to the figured maple. 

I REALLY LIKE THIS GUITAR AND HATE TO SELL IT... but back to school means back to raising cash.  It is a win/win situation, you get a great guitar, my daughter gets to go to college.
