Fender Standard Stratocaster 2003

For guitarists everywhere who appreciate great style, rich and versatile tone, and top value, the Standard Stratocaster is an elegant and affordable classic with legendary Fender® tone and classic styling. It’s got the traditional three single-coil Strat pickups, synchronized tremolo with high-mass bridge block, the best Fender frets, very cool Pearloid pickguard, and that oh-so traditional Fender headstock logo. Made in Ensenada, Mexico at Fender's own beautifully-run factory; I've been there and can attest to that. This guitar was bought new at my store in 2003 for a kid who never touched it. Has got those wonderful Hipshot locking tuning machines too; no idea where they came from but they sure are a big plus. Time-honored Fender style and performance-minded modern upgrades don’t have to break the bank, and this guitar delivers the best of both in an instrument ideal for Strat players everywhere at every level. And bonus! Ultra-cool genuine Fender tweed hard shell case! But wait, there’s more! Not only is all the original Fender paperwork included but there’s a spare white trem-spring back plate in case you just can't live with the black one that's on the guitar. AND......a spare chrome neck plate with absolutely no logo on it, along with four shiny new unused neck screws, again, just in case. You cannot go wrong with this Fender Strat for only $495 w/hsc
