This a Dan Smith era two knob Stratocaster. These guitars were only in production for less than two years. From what I have gathered, the years prior to this model are some of the best strats that you can find. This strat used the same pickups/electronics but decided to do away with one tone knob and place the cable jack into the pick guard. I am the second owner of this guitar and had a custom professional pa...int job done a couple of years ago. Every part on this guitar is original other than the professional paint and the tone and volume knob covers. I used chrome knobs for several years and cannot find the originals for the life of me (I will include the knobs you see and the chrome knobs). Body is almost flawless. Neck is straight, frets are good and as expected from a an almost 40 year old guitar. There is one worn spot on the second fret as seen in the photos that does not effect the guitar. Original case is included but is in poor shape. It works fine but hinges had to be replaced. Lastly, this is one of the few you will find that still has the one of a kind trem/whammy bar. These alone are in demand.Guitar plays and sounds amazing, clearest pickups I have ever played.
