FENDER USA DELUXE STRATOCASTER 1997,
SERIAL NO: N73175xx
£899 plus £10 carriage (UK mainland)

This is a 1997 Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster in metallic silver with a slight pearlescence, reminiscent of Shoreline Gold, or perhaps Inca Silver.

This Fender Stratocaster is in A1** condition with no paint breaches or noticeable dings. I only hesitate to say mint as, on very close inspection,there are some minor signs of previous use and one or two very small edge dings. Fantastic, comfortable neck with hardly any fret wear. Extremely versatile pickup switching, achieving everything from Gibson style humbucker rock to Fender single coil twang.

Here's a run through on some of the features of this beauty - one of the best Fender strats I've ever played!

• Maple neck with skunktail, dark Rosewood fretboard.

• Small Headstock style.

• Chrome hardwear.

• Fender enclosed tuners, two dual string retainers.

• Two pin floating tremolo.

• Aged pearloid scratchplate and spring cover.

• Tilt adjustable, four bolt neck plate.

• Seymour Duncan '59 neck humbucker.

• Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates bridge Humbucker.

• Five way pickup switching:
- position 1, bridge humbucker
- position 2, single coil out of phase bridge and neck
- position 3, both humbuckers
- position 4, single coil neck
- position 5, neck humbucker
• Volume and two tone pots.
• Schaller strap locks.
• Fender vintage style square hard case, orange plush interior.
