Condition
I would rate this guitar a 9.5/10. It is exceptionally clean with only a few small dings, with no cracks, repairs, or structural issues. The neck is straight and stable, the original frets show no wear, and the guitar has been recently professionally set up so it plays great with no buzzing or dead spots.
Please review all photos carefully for the most accurate representation of condition.

Tone & Feel
This model offers a great balance of clarity, warmth, and power. The pickup combination gives you plenty of flexibility, from articulate single-coil tones to thicker bridge humbucker sounds, making it a very usable guitar across a wide range of styles. The Soft V neck profile also gives it a unique feel that sets it apart from a standard Strat.
