Description

No sales tax for customers outside California.

Here we have a nice 1997 Fender American Vintage '62 Reissue Stratocaster - the model that got Fender back on track after the70s and 80s dark ages. 

The guitar is in great shape with light fret wear.  There are some insignificant dings here and there, but no signs of abuse.  There are no issues, and the only change/repair is the bridge humbucker, which is a Seymour Duncan Custom Shop replacement.  The original pickup is not included.

The guitar set up really easily for us - it plays perfectly with the new 10-46 strings.  There is room in the truss rod for future neck relief adjustments.

The case seems to be original and the strap and paperwork as well.
