Instrument was hand selected over others for playability and the very nice ash timber grain

I paid an additional $400 alone just for the matching 60th Anni Case & Strap  ( makes me kind of wince now )

original & untampered with.

perfectly straight neck with a superb factory set up

Zero fret wear

If it looks like a scratch , it isnt - I've noted some light reflections within photos...and that's all they are - reflections

* I polish my guitars before they're stored, and do not handle without polishing cloth when packing away. Upon taking these photos I noticed the ONLY signs of use were some pick marks on the pickguard ( guess I couldnt help myself a few years back ). I applied a dab of piano polish and the marks were instantly removed. I did not however remove strings to do guard over 100%, so there will still be a few pick marks. Rest assured with a dab of instrument polish and 5 minutes of time these will remove very easily, and guard polishes up just like new with a mirror finish. Again, zero fretwear. All metal parts are in EXC+++ condition also - I'd recommend a once over with polish cloth around string saddles when strings once again changed.

had a qucik ebay fly-around at time of listing and only found one similar hardcase selling in USA, for US$200 plus approx $100 for freighting to Aus, and could not find a new 60th strap like this... ( I'm still trying to justify the $400+ I paid for these way back when )

I paid more for the upgraded Ash DLX 60th model and bought the additionals with intent to keep as a 60th Anni year collectible, so it may suit someone with similar interests.

Hardcase functions perfectly, and is perfect inside, it does however have some marks on the outside. These cases are very prone to such.

You'll probably find cheaper USA Deluxe Stratocasters out there but possibly not in as good condition, with the upgrades & hang tags etc.

I am listing at substantial $'s less than what it owes me so please, if you want to offer peanuts I'd suggest you search ebay for .."peanuts" , as it's just as easy to pack away for another 5.
