No pitted or sweat-oxidized metal hardware or components. Never been gigged with and no modifications have been done to this guitar. While thi...s guitar is in very good condition, it is 22 years old and does have some minor scratches and very small dings. Hopefully you can see these in the photos, but they are very minor.Includes Fender gig bag and correct tremolo bar with black cap that matches the body color.The Super-Sonic has the distinction of being the first guitar model introduced as a Squier rather than being a down-market version of an existing Fender model. Its creation was inspired by photos of Jimi Hendrix playing a Fender Jaguar upside-down and left-handed, instead of his normal Strat. Other highly unique details are the FENDER embossed bridge saddles, “allegedly” leftover NOS CBS-era Fender. Built to a high-quality standard in Japan at a period early in the life of the new, reorganized Fender before its own manufacturing capacity had been reestablished.
