Humbucker ( Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates Plus ) / Single / Single Factory Set up

with

Fender Contour Hard case

&

user manual / case candy

Condition - EXC +++

Made in USA

Year of Manufacture : 1997

Gloss Black Body with Maple Neck & Rosewood Fingerboard

ALL ORIGINAL - 1997 USA LONESTAR Stratocaster

This guitar has seen very little use & is in excellent condition

What makes this guitar special is that it features the upgraded single coil Texas Specials pick ups found on the Stevie Ray Vaughan signature Strat, as well as many other signature series and custom shop models, and also a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates Plus humbucking pickup which comes incredibly close to a 59' Les Paul sound.

This is a 100% Made In USA Model - Please do not mistake it for the more recent Made in Mexico HSS Lonestar Configurations

Serial number on headstock is fine - just covered in photo as to perhaps prevent serial number duplication. On that note please be cautious on ebay as I've seen a few falsely serial-numbered Fender copy guitars on ebay over the last 2-3 weeks.

The neck is straight, with a fast , easy playing action.

Sorry, no tremolo bar.

Everything looks to be in order under the hood but these photos will hopefully speak volumes

Overall Condition :

As stated - very little use given year of manufacture.

Some general light swirls & scratches on gloss black body - could not find any dings, and no nasty scratches deep into paint or through paint - NOTHING NASTY

Definately no neck pocket paint crack scars that some fenders carry ( just thought I'd add that as I really don't like those blem's )

Neck is silky smooth with one very small mark that I missed first couple of times over.

Very, very small amount of fretwear in only a couple of spots...a fret polish and it would be near zero fretwear.

I'd think electrics be original given plastic from pick guard can still be seen around the pick up mounting screws, and solder joints look very good to me.

Original factory release tortoise shell type pickguard and tremelo cover plate.

Chrome / Metal parts in EXCELLENT condition

Some nice grain on the back of maple neck

Fender Hardcase IS Included

as is a user manual /case candy pack - unsure if pack is for this model strat & it does not include the adjustment wrenches ( small hole in plastic bag where allen keys removed,otherwise still sealed )

key for fender case is there too.

cash payment when picked up preferred but will post in australia and overseas. costs as per ebay listing details with exception of remote australian destinations,which need to be discussed prior to end of sale.

*** PLEASE NOTE - as the sale stands the guitar is supplied WITH the Fender Contour case pictured above.

Should the buyer wish to save some $'s , or perhaps they have a case already, then I can substitute the Fender case for the SKB Srat case pictured below , with a reduction in total cost of $50
