A piece of Fender history ready for a new life on stage or in the studio. For sale: Fender Stratocaster American Series (Made in USA, 2001), complete with original hard case. An instrument from the early 2000s US production run that retains the authentic character and sound that made the Stratocaster legendary. A refinish that makes all the difference: the body was stripped and hand-refinished with a thin nitrocellulose lacquer—the same technique used on the most sought-after vintage models. Nitro "breathes," allowing the wood to resonate; over time, it develops a unique patina—marks, highlights, and color shifts—that no modern finish can replicate. A real plus for anyone seeking genuine character in a guitar. Condition: Given its age, there are normal signs of use consistent with a well-played instrument, though the overall aesthetic remains excellent. The fretboard is in good general condition; the frets have been leveled and show wear, so a refret will likely be advisable in the near future—something to factor in for anyone wanting to bring the instrument to peak performance. Why choose this guitar? Ideal for anyone looking for a genuine American Stratocaster to play right away and customize to their own taste. It offers an excellent foundation, featuring the allure of a nitro-finished body that will continue to mature over time. Includes original hard case. Hand delivery available, with the option to test the instrument.
Shipping available at the buyer's expense.
