Pre Owned Vintage 1997 Fender U.S. Lone Star Stratocaster, Hot Rod Series, HSS, Black, w/Tweed HSC

From the original Lone Star run, featuring a Custom Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates Plus bridge humbucker, one-piece maple neck, Bi-Flex truss rod, Micro-Tilt adjustment, 22 medium-jumbo frets, and die-cast tuners. In implausibly great shape for a 30yo High Gloss Black guitar; minor finish wear and a couple mild scratches but looks very clean from most any angle. Dialed in and set up in-shop, plays and sounds great with no issues and low action. Includes original accessories. A NEW deluxe tweed wooden hardshell case with red plush interior is also included.

Description:

Part of Fender’s original Hot Rodded American Series, the U.S. Lone Star Stratocaster took the proven American Standard platform and gave it a factory-installed performance upgrade. Two Texas Special single-coils deliver muscular, blues-ready Strat tone, while a custom Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates Plus humbucker adds the power and sustain needed for heavier lead and rhythm work. Special five-way switching preserves the essential Stratocaster combinations while putting a full humbucker sound immediately on tap.
