Here is a real jaw dropper that sizzles. It's is a Fender Japan Classic 50's Stratocaster in excellent condition that will blow your socks off. This guitar is a pleasure to play and is ready to rock. It was professionally set up with smooth, low action and perfect intonation. It comes ultra sweet USA Texas Special pickups. It is well balanced and weighs a super comfy 7 lbs 12 oz's. It is a true homage to the the golden era Pre-CBS Strat. This guitar is acoustically resonant and plays flawlessly. It has been professionally dialed in and set up for optimal tone and playability. The frets have been dressed, leveled and polished and shine like new. The radius of the fretboard is a vintage correct 7.25. It has stock vintage style frets that don't show any noticeable wear. They were just dressed and polished and shine like new. It has a few dings including the one seen in the pics on the top of the body but overall it is in excellent condition. The Fender FSR '50s Japanese Texas Special Stratocaster really stands out above other strats. The Texas Special pickups give this guitar a midrange boost that is great for country and rock, with the alder body adding a harmonic richness to the tone. The fat C neck profile feels great in your hands, making it the ideal choice for rhythm and lead players alike. It has a few little dings and minor scratches that are more or less concentrated to the area near the arm contour-but nothing nasty and she looks super clean overall. It comes with a Dude approved gig bag and tremolo arm.

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s
We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS INCURRED (NOT CHARGES) WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 10% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
