Read our feedback and rest assured that The Dude Abides. 

This Fender ST57-78TX was crafted by the fine luthiers at the Tokai-Gakki factory in Japan. The Vintage Sunburst finish looks fantastic is and has that classic look. The guitar dates to 2008, and came stock with some bad ass American made Texas Special pickups, yes... the same ones on the SRV Strat. This guitar is in very good condition with plenty of natural mojo. It has little dings and scratches mostly along tyhe back bottom edge and some wear through the lacquer on the back of the neck. I would say It is in a natural light relic condition. On the top of the body it is very clean. This one has natural oozing vintage mojo and superb tone. It has all the thump and chime you desire, with some attitude and bite when pushed, thanks to the Texas Special pickups. The sound is sure to blow you away. It pays tribute to the golden era of Fender (pre-CBS) and has most of the specs of a 1957 Stratocaster... from the 7.25 radius on the beautiful maple board with the vintage size frets, to the chunk in the C profile neck. (they call it oval shape) Thanks to the fresh professional set up she sounds and plays fantastic. It comes in a Fender Gig Bag and is ready to come home and be rocked!

  • This guitar is professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability. It has low action with no buzzing or dead spots and is an absolute joy to play. It has been deep cleaned and detailed. All guitars will arrive looking and playing great. The frets have been leveled / dressed / polished and the fingerboard was cleaned. (Unfinished Rosewood and Ebony boards get treated with Fret Doctor - a proprietary all natural oil that is the best on the market) It has brand new strings, the action was adjusted, the intonation is spot on and it plays excellent. All the electronics work flawlessly.


**** We stand behind every guitar we sell and have consistently delivered quality that beats most people expectations, earning us a reputation for quality that is unrivaled. Simply put “good enough” is not good enough for The Guitar Dude’s standards. We try and make every guitar be at its absolute BEST to deliver on our promise.
