TRADED: Fender Stratocaster Plus 50th Anniversary (1996) - hand-painted
What's Hot
Well, bit of an odd one this! Hand-painted by a local artist, part of me thinks I should never sell it - and it plays and sounds great and I love its looks. But it hardly gets played (I struggle with single coils)) and I have no display room.
The back of the neck has been smoothed down, the fretboard lacquer removed (it was flaking) and SCN Noiseless pickups fitted. It has 100% new wiring, pots, switch, jack and S1 switching.
The major marks are from stupid youthful attempts to make it roadworn as I hated the stock black!
Looking for £500. Collect from Carlisle or Kirkbride, Cumbria.

Everyone thought Steve Vai was (insert your favourite Vai insult here) at first and a fair few still do but he did something with a guitar that was painted in a unique style that most of the people who slag him off can't do.
Take your Strat and do something unique with it...........or don't and good luck with selling it.
All the best.
What's the crack with the fretboard? I've never played an unlaquered maple board, does it feel noticeably different under the fingers?
I can't remember but I can say I played it for a while yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. It kind of feels like the frets are bigger, I suppose, as they now I suppose seem to sit higher.
