This is a 1998-2005 Fender Standard Roland-Ready Stratocaster, Made in Mexico, in classic gloss black with a smooth rosewood fretboard. It features a solid alder body, 21 frets, and comes freshly set up with a new pack of Ernie Ball Power Slinky strings (the purple pack). The guitar plays incredibly well and functions perfectly as a traditional electric guitar should. Whammy Bar is included in the case. Serial Number: MZ5110090

The Imperfections: The guitar has a handful of minor cosmetic imperfections from its 20 years of life. The original pickguard and pickup covers have naturally yellowed with age, and there is a distinct "white shadow" on the pickguard where the Roland Blue Sticker sat. The frets have noticeable wear on them. I don't have a synth unit to test the 13 pin port. There are also about 5 other very minor surface swirls and faint handling marks on the body that you can only really see if you look closely under direct light.

The Case: Included with the guitar is a premium Road Runner Boulevard Series Tweed Hardshell Case, which is in immaculate condition. It features a beautiful vintage gold tweed exterior, dark brown end caps, solid gold-plated latches with a lock, and a super clean red plush velour interior that hugs the Strat perfectly. I also have the original lock keys to the guitar case.

NOTE: The guitar is missing some screws and/or nuts. Is still playable and perfectly intact.
