Guitar Description

This lovely guitar came to us from a professional guitar teacher who had used it as one of his teaching instruments for a number of years. He's based Berkshire and offers professional guitar tuition, he was the original owner (bought it new from Dawsons music in Reading) and had undertaken some minor customisations to the guitar. We have put it back to stock spec. Being a 2003 model this one features the vintage radius fret board and frets and has that classic vintage Strat feel to it. A very comfy strat to play and it sounds beautiful. This one remains in fine condition, well looked after by a pro guitar player. Tons of fret life left and it plays like a dream now we've set it up perfectly. There is some genuine wear and wall hanger staining on the neck and we've had to replace the saddles and scratch plate (to put it back after the customisations). A genuine and honest used guitar that's hugely playable and looks and sounds fantastic. Priced lower than a 100% stock one, a great price for a Custom Shop Strat and a wonderful instrument.

Guitar Condition

Very good, has been used by a pro guitar teacher. Nut replaced with carbon graphite, a few marks and hanger stain on neck near headstock, frets very good, tons of life left. We replaced scratch plate with a Fender CS mint green one as previous owner had installed a switch on the original white one. We also replaced the carbon graphite saddles he'd installed with new Fender Custom Shop Pat Pend saddles. Water slide logo slightly marked and very minor damage to it.
