For your consideration is a 2018 Fender American Special Stratocaster in sonic blue with all of its original paperwork. This guitar will ship in a Fender gig bag with whammy bar inside. Note, this guitar did not come from the factory with a case. Please read through this description in its entirety, look through all pictures, and reach out with questions prior to purchasing as my shop policy states that I do no accept returns.
Starting at the body, there are no visible scratches on the front, back, or sides of the guitar. After searching to find any discrepancies, I did find a pin head size ding on the edge about 2 inches from the strap button closest to the neck. There is no paint damage on the gloss urethane finish from the ding and it really is difficult to see unless you are really searching. Original 3-ply mint green pick guard. This guitar has Custom Shop Texas Special single-coil Strat pickups in all three positions. Both tone knobs have Greasebucket Tone circuits (Rolls Off Highs without Adding Bass). This guitar currently has 3 springs holding the bridge.
Moving up the neck, specifications are as follows:
- Modern "c" shape,
- Jumbo frets
- Synthetic bone nut width is 1.685"
- 9.5" fingerboard radius
- Maple neck, rosewood fretboard
- 25.5" scale length
The 70's style headstock and factory installed locking tuning machines are in great condition.
The original paperwork will be included in the front zipper of the Fender gig bag. Serial number for verification is US18059138. Weight is approximately 7 lbs, 14 oz. If you are located in Southern California, I will allow for a demo in my private studio or in-person pickup.
