American Vintage 56 Strat in the rare shell pink finish! Comes with all case candy and paperwork and original G&G tweed case. Strap, cable, and bridge cover have never been used.

This guitar is in 9.5/10 condition - the only cosmetic flaw is a small dot the size of a pin head on the top (pictured). The nitro finish has begun checking, but not much. What little checking there is is very hard to photograph, but can be seen in person under the right light and angle.

The plastics on this guitar were changed out by the previous owner, but they have been returned to the original color scheme. The pick guard doesnt appear to be Fender-made, but the other plastics are. Tuners, electronics, strap buttons, string tree, and bridge are all original. Never refretted, has a negligible amount of fret wear.

The back of the neck is not sticky at all. I don’t believe the finish was ever sanded down, but I don’t have another example to compare to. Finish is much glossier on neck heel and back of headstock, but seems worn in quite naturally. Neck feel is similar to what you will find on an American Pro II.

Neck is a soft V, and is not baseball-bat like at all. Feels similar in playability to American Pro IIs.

Guitar weighs in at 7lbs 6oz

Freshly restrung with 10-46 Slinky’s.

Guitar sounds and plays excellent, no issues whatsoever. Selling to continue the hunt for an AVRI 52 Tele.
