SOLD - Fender Classic Series 60s Stratocaster, Candy Apple Red
https://i.imgur.com/cXKn2lZ.jpgThis is from 2004 and I've owned it from new. Overall in very good condition - there are 3 very small scratches in the clear coat and a small chip on the front top edge (see the other photos). It only went down to the gold, so I touched it up with transparent red and drop-filled with superglue - turned out quite well I think. It's set up well and plays nicely, although it is missing the little spring inside the trem arm hole that dampens the swinging of the arm. It had a cardboard factory shim which at some point I replaced with a piece of folded wet and dry paper of the same size (because I read it in one of Dan Erlewine's books). As poly finishes go it looks and feels quite thin, as you can see the body joins (3-piece) in the right light.

https://imgur.com/a/fmF3sI'm looking for £400 with a navy blue tweed style case, or £370 with a practically unused Fender gigbag (I have boxes and packaging for either), delivery included. Not really interested in trades (unless you have a Classic 60s Tele in black...) Feel free to ask me any questions.
Edit: Now sold - boxed up and ready to drop off at the depot tomorrow.
