WTB - Strat (under £500)

th2017

I've bought my 5 year son a black squire mini to learn on and he wants daddy to have the same type of guitar.

Oddly I dont own a strat so its time to pick up something I can play along with him (I'm perhaps a bit too precious about my other gear).

Only requirements are 3x single coils, rosewood board.  Looking something reasonable, need not be a fender.  Dings/scratches not an issue just want a nice playing guitar that plays above its price. 

If you've something suitable, make me an offer!

You just missed my Roadhouse by 2 days which fell well within your budget

This is the one - (it's the original post on here when I bought it). It's got a Wudtone trem and mojo vintage pickups.

I'm looking for £500 which if I remember rightly is less than I paid for it. I've splurged a bit so need to let a few go :-)

I can offer you either a Squier Silver Series Japanese Strat or a MIM Fender Strat. Looking for about £300 in each case.

I've got a MIM you can have for £225, and then you can upgrade it as you see fit.
