A really excellent example of these highly-rated vintage-style strats. This one is in fantastic condition with limited play-wear. There is one slight indentation on the front of the body, about 5mm long in the poly finish, that I could not pick up in the photograph. The scratchplate has some swirls from strumming. Everything else is superb. Any marks that are seen on the body other than described, are reflections.  The parchment scratchplate looks almost white, when in reality it has a very subtle aged-white vibe, to it.  It is a two piece body with a well-matched join. The good workmanship continues inside both cavities ... all very neat and tidy. There is no fretwear. It has never been gigged - home use only. I will include a gig bag in the sale.

Upgrades as follows ...
•3-ply 'parchment' white 8-hole '57 plate ... (I can include the original with guitar)
•fret-dress at JX Guitars, Newcastle

From the Fender website:
"The Classic Vibe Stratocaster® '50s provides unmistakable '50s-era Fender® vibe and tone. The alder body has a Two-Color Sunburst finish. The vintage-tint gloss-maple neck has a maple Fingerboard with 21 medium-jumbo frets and a modern 9.5" radius. That long-familiar tone comes from a custom set of alnico III single-coil pickups, clear and bright, with terrific sustain even in crunch mode. Custom staggered polepieces provide improved string-to-string balance.
