Shop will be going on vacation Sept 16 for 3 weeks
Bought this used recently. Had one that I sold about a year ago and regretted it and swore I’d never sell this one but unfortunately am forced to due to unexpected life changes.
I’ve had custom shop guitars in the past but generally look for more affordable but quality options. That IMO is what this instrument is. Road worn nitocellulose finish with checking and comfortable soft v worn neck make it a joy to play. In essence it’s a MIM custom shop guitar. Truly articulate pickups that can also be driven to pleasing levels of gain.
Downsides or things I’d change. Well it’s relic’d so if that not your thing pass. Fret ends are slightly rough (I intended to file them but haven’t) and pots occasionally are scratchy (my other had same issue) but hopefully a shot of detox-it might fix. Also no back cover plate. Lastly prior owner put what I think are brass saddles on it. Aesthetically not my thing but seem to work ok. Does come with Fender gig bag though.
Description from GC for reference: The Fender Vintera Limited-Edition Road Worn ’50s Stratocaster recreates the look and feel of a well-loved original. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish—prized for its aging patterns and ability to "breathe"—is hand-distressed for an authentically broken-in vibe. This alder-bodied Strat delivers the playing comfort you expect from a great vintage guitar.
The updated thick soft V-shaped neck has a 7.25''-radius maple fretboard with 21 vintage-tall frets. Vintage-style tuners and a synchronized trem complete the package. Other features include vintage-style strap buttons, 5-way pickup switching and traditional Strat control layout.
There is another one of these listed on reverb now but is mislabeled so hard to search for that I think is listed quite a bit more than this one.
Thx
