'62 Reissue Fender USA Stratocaster Body

Up for sale is this genuine, Fender USA Strat AVRI body, pulled from a reissue of the classic 1962 Stratocaster.  It was made in Corona, CA in 1998.

Background:
The Fender USA '62 RI Strats feature top-of the-line quality, and are a reproduction of the 1962 Stratocaster. Don't confuse this body with the many other non-USA bodies on eBay and elsewhere - some sellers go out of their way to avoid telling you they are made in Mexico or Japan or god knows where. This is a genuine Fender USA product.

Quick Specs:
"Comfort Contour" shape alder wood body, finished in a classic black Nitrocellulose Lacquer. This body accepts the vintage (6-screw) Fender USA tremolo bridge that uses 2 + 7/32" string spacing, and takes any single-coil Strat pickups. Its neck pocket has the standard US Strat width: 56 mm (a little over 2 and 1/8"). Its actual bare weight is 4 lbs. and 5 oz.

Condition:
Very good to excellent. Nitro finishes shows their wear more than poly finishes - it's the nature of the beast. There are many light surface scratches on the body, most couldn't be captured with a photograph. Black hides this kind of wear very well. On the upper horn, there are two small marks (pictured). On the back, the paint has flaked away around the neck plate area - a common issue with nitro finishes, but easily patched. The good news: there no dents or dings to speak of on the body. The Strat's alder wood is lightweight and the contour feels just right against your body. 

The Price Includes:
The American Stratocaster reissue body itself and its original strap pins. No hardware is included, but I may have some available, from bridges to cases. I generally offer my items on Reverb.com first, and then list them on ebay if they are unsold or receive no reasonable offers. Get your best deal here on Reverb!

TERMS:
Direct checkout through Reverb.com or mailed payment. I offer a 5% cash discount if you pay by any means that doesn't cost me a fee, email me for details

Shipping in the USA: Shipping costs will be LESS than the price quoted if you are within 200 miles of NJ, and quite a bit cheaper if you have a business address I can ship to. I may ship via Priority Mail or UPS Ground. If you have a PO Box for an address, or are not in the continental USA, email me to confirm a shipping method and price before buying - if you are not in the "Lower 48" shipping will certainly cost more than the quoted price in the listing, and UPS will not ship to PO Boxes. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
