Body: the finish on the body has some really cool checking and discoloration/aging that make this Strat really stand out; other noticeable marks, scratches (moderate buckle rash), dings, and chips can be found on the top, back, and sides, but this Fender wears its scars well!; the pickguard has some obvious wear, particularly below the high E-string where there is a large spot of wear and tear from years of playing; the neckplate and jackplate have some light scratches on them
Neck, Fretboard, and Headstock: the fretboard shows some obvious wear along the edges and some noticeable chips, dings, and scratches in the lacquer; the back of the neck has some very light scratches and a few small dings in the lacquer that are barely noticeable to the touch and should not affect comfort or playability; on the headstock one of the string trees is missing and the one that is there is a bit rusty looking; the headstock has some easily noticeable chips in the lacquer, mostly along the front treble side edge between the nut and the bottom of the "F" in the "Fender" logo, plus a few light scuff marks. scratches, and tiny dings can be seen on the front, back, and sides of the headstock
Action and Playability: the action is about medium-low, plus the neck is straight and the truss rod functions flawlessly
Frets: moderate wear with some small grooves forming in the first four frets, however there is not fret out or buzzing at this time
Hardware: the tuners look fantastic; one of the string trees is missing and the one that is there is a bit rusty looking; the bridge looks fantastic, but the saddles have some very faint rust spots on them; the jack plate and the neck plate both show some scratches on them; the strap buttons have some noticeable wear in the finish
Electronics: all functions flawlessly
Includes: electric guitar and hardshell case (one string tree is missing)
