DONT BUY AND THEN REQUEST A RETURN TAKE TIME AND READ DESCRIPTION. ASK FOR MORE PICTURES IF NEEDED.
I have finally made my mind up on selling this guitar I’ve listed and taken it down several times because it plays and sounds so good!!! Listing for my absolute lowest price I’ll ship for free

Up for sale is this amazing sounding strat. It’s a 1997 California Series marked by the serial code. I’ve marked this strat in very good condition because if your looking for a stock 97 California series than this is not the one for you. I’ve been the owner for the last 15 years and played it always all the time because it was literally my only electric so I’ve done some repairs and added a few things. Hear it on my channel!

1. Most important for me and for you to know is the pick ups. As you can tell from the pictures and custom shop certificate this guitar comes LOADED with limited edition Fender Custom shop fat 60s hand wound pickups signed by Josefina Campos her self. Pickups alone are 500$ and are not found in stock on regular basis. Pickups are Exactly like the real MASTER BUILT custom shop guitars come with. According to a video master builder Ron Thorn comments that JOSEFINA CAMPOS hand wounds the pick ups only for the master built guitars, only !!! I will also include old stock pick ups .

2. Case. I don’t have the original case but it comes with a real vintage fender case. I wish I knew how to date these but if I had to put a guess I would say 60-70s case. Those alone hold a pretty high value. It’s been used heavily and has ware and tear signs everywhere latches still works . Leather string that holds handle came off but latch still holds .

3. Back of the guitar the neck finish has been wore out and has that wore feel to it

4. Side of guitar has been wore out due to years of playing see pics . Guitar has checking everywhere. Ask for pics if need to.

5. I’ve got the frets level a few years back

6. All knobs are vintage white minus pick up covers

7. 5 springs in back I will include cover for back of guitar.

8. Bridge saddles have been replaced

9. All pots are wires and jack have been replace with Emerson Custom 5-way Blender Prewired Kit for Fender Stratocasters - 250Kohm Pots You can get some tele sounds on the bridge! Still have originals as well. Volume pot sometimes brings the volume back at 0

10. Guitar has a chips 2 “major “ ones , fretboard has a dent not sure if it’s natural from the wood , also there is some white tiny specs almost like over spray but it has been that way since I’ve owned it . Doesn’t affect board and playability. Just being transparent as possible

If I can describe this guitar it’s and old 97 that gets close to a fender custom shop. The finish I would say it’s medium aged naturally. Guitar is 25 years old Price is firm due to pick ups and case . Please don’t buy and try it and attempt to return later . No returns ask any questions you would like and I will do my best to answer questions and send more pictures. Thank you
