Here is an absolutely gorgeous, great playing and sounding vintage Strat that is now 40 years old and in Excellent Condition! It has aged like a fine wine, and the once very bright Arctic White finish has ripened into a buttery, almost blonde beauty. It's in great cosmetic shape with a very clean body front and back. It has 1 small ding on the front and on the back of the body, which have caused some minor cracks in the poly finish. There are some with some very fine surface scratches, but nothing deep or nasty. It has a straight neck with a working truss rod, and a beautiful rosewood fretboard that is in fantastic shape with freshly polished frets. It comes with all the original, un-opened case candy which includes the Ashtray and bridge cover, the tremolo bar, springs and un-used warranty card.
