Fender Strat purchased new from Sweetwater back in March 2021. It basically has everything you could want in a solid body electric (curb appeal, near effortless playability, wide ranging tonal combinations, etc.). Originally came equipped with narrow/tall frets which didn't work well for me. Long story ensued... back to Sweetwater it went. It now has medium jumbo frets and a Plek setup. The pickguard appears to show evidence of pick strikes but that's just the plastic film that never got pealed off. For all the drama this axe has caused me, I've only played it like a half dozen times. Buy with confidence. OHSC included.
