NOW KEEPING SO CANCEL THREAD. - Fender Stratocaster - upgraded - Lollar pick ups.
NOW KEEPING SO CANCEL THREAD.
SUPERB STRAT.
I originally bought this second hand in New York in 2004 where I had a set of Lollar vintage blonde pick ups fitted.
It also has had the second tone pot replaced with a blend tone pot that allows you to add neck to bridge or vice versa and increases the girth and punch. You now have a master volume and a master tone plus the blend and a conventional 5 way selector.
The guitar has been refretted and the action and set up professionally done. Instead of the original 7.25 radius it is now closer to 9-10 radius with frets which are a bit chunkier than vintage. All work professionally completed . Comes with a tatty but functional hard case.
Not sure of exact year but believed a good few years old.
Plays looks and sounds superb.
The pick ups retail for £190 and are true vintage strat sound.
Any questions please ask.
£500 ono
Collection only from Guildford in Surrey.

No- Not sure as there are no markings apart from on the headstock.30the street guitars in New York where I bought it thought it was an old Jap one.
Sorry can't be more precise.

Capo at the 1st fret and whip the neck off, will probably give a very good idea of its origins. The MIJ ones usually have some codes in there.
Thanks for the advice but short of changing strings I leave all that sort of stuff to professionals.I'm the sort of person that would break the neck or strip a screw if I attempted that.
I must say when I went into the shop in New York it was only to buy the pick ups but I then picked up the guitar and played it and loved it - I think it cost me about $900. I then got them to fit the pick ups and had the other work on the neck etc done when I got home. It is just a great guitar that doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is. The price reflects that I don't know exactly what it is but it never bothered me I picked it up and loved it and that was above and beyond numerous other far more expensive strats that they had in there at the time.
I am more than happy for anyone to try it first in fact I'd prefer it.
Jim.
I agree. If you can change a plug, you can whip the neck off a Fender and put it back no problem. It might be hard to sell, without being able to say what it is!Originally Posted by Stevieb76
does it just have Fender on the head-stock then ?, no serial ? MIJ, CIJ ect ect, need better photo of head-stock mate, people will want to know the origins of it before they shell out £500, that goes without saying fella
bUMP
