Please read carefully. This guitar was custom painted in a matte black. This is not a pro job. When you look closely you can see sanding scratches through the paint. However at a few feet away you really don't see anything. You can see the headstock was painted without sanding away the original peeling paint. The tuners say Fender but I have a feeling they are clones as well but not 100% certain.
The owner told me the pick guard was a pre-wired Texas Special clone (he not sure who made it - said he paid $115 for it).
I wasn't familiar with Tradition guitars but I have to say it plays pretty well and feels pretty solid. It has good weight to it (7 lbs 14 oz)
Comes with hard case.
Local pick up is available in our Santa Fe Springs, CA store
