All original parts except an upgraded loaded custom made pickguard using Official Fender Artist Series Buddy Guy Stratocaster Pickup Set - Includes 3 Hot Ceramic Single Coil Strat Pickups loaded Pickguard.

All new cloth wiring with the highest end parts money can buy including 3 custom circuits, orange drop mods and fresh strings, Fender gig bag and whammy bar. Original loaded pickguard also available for extra $ but honestly, not needed. This one is holy grail as is: The Grease Bucket Tone Circuit Mod A regular tone circuit in a Strat is a 250K potentiometer with .022 orange drop capacitor. This Grease Bucket Tone Circuit is also a 250K potentiometer with .022 capacitor, but with 4.7K resistor and .1uf capacitor. With the regular 250K, as the tone is rolled off, there is an increase in bass frequency. And as you roll the tone knob back and forth, a "wow" or "wah" sound is heard. Not on this unique guitar! With the Grease Bucket tone circuit, as the tone is rolled off, bass frequency isn't increased. And as you roll the tone knob back and forth, less "wow" or "wah" is heard. How does Grease Bucket benefit the player? The idea with the Grease Bucket tone circuit is keep the bass EQ "flat" so as the tone is rolled off, bass boom isn't added in, thereby making the tone control on the Stratocaster guitar more usable... The Treble Bleed Circuit Mod The treble bleed mod is a circuit which can help you keep the treble in the guitar signal, when you're turning down the volume potentiometer. As you know, attenuating the volume pot knob not only decreases the volume but also makes the tone darker & smoother. This is rarely ideal as you are losing some high frequencies you shouldn't. This unique Treble Bleed Mod will help prevent treble frequencies from bleeding out and allows you to lower the volume without messing with your tone (for once!). The Blender Pot Mod The Blender wiring has 1 volume, 1 master tone, and a Blender Pot. In the neck position you can blend the bridge pickup in as much as you want. In the bridge position you can blend the neck pickup in as much as you want. In positions 2 and 4 you can have all three pickups on. No extra switches or pots! NOTE: If you keep the tone and volume maxed (turned all the way), these circuits will have no effect, just like a standard Strat. They only function when Volume, treble and tone is turned down or when the Blender pot is moved from zero position. COMES WITH DELUXE PADDED FENDER BRAND GIG BAG LIKE NEW. Sounds like the nicest strat you've ever heard hands down, plus it plays like an absolute dream. You will not find a more buttery neck, your hand melts right into the frets and you could play this in your bed while you sleep it's so smooth. Almost no effort is needed to play this guitar as it's been set up as smooth and low as a guitar has ever been. It is just one of the most special, wonderful playing strats you'll ever play and the versatility is unmatched. I just can't say enough about this guitar. In all honesty, this is a real gem and is as nice as any American Strat that's ever been. A true vintage classic made BEST. Has minimal wear for a guitar of this age. Headstock dosn't have a ding on it! Everything a Strat should be. Made in Mexico in 1994. Arctic White finish over an Alder body. Maple neck with a 21-fret Rosewood fingerboard. 7.6 lbs. All original except new loaded pickguard. Super Straight neck. Light fret wear on the cowboy chords. The guitar is overall in very clean shape. Some honest wear typical for a 28 year old guitar. Very few scuffs, dings, dents, chips and a couple of typical finish cracks at the neck pocket. A very solid guitar. It comes with a Fender gig bag, new strings (light size 10) & tremolo (whammy bar).
