Bought from original owner two years ago. All original with original hardshell case and case candy. Still has the new somewhat sweet guitar smell many Gibson and Fender guitars with nitro finishes have. Sounds great and plays smoothly without any issues. This has a thin nitrocellulose finish that will age more naturally over time compared to thick poly finishes used on more modern Fender guitars. It has a super dark rosewood fretboard and a mid-60s C shape neck that's not too small and not too big and has a smooth taper that gets gradually more full as you go up the fretboard.
There are three small marks in the finish (2 that are left of the neck pickup area, 1 pin sized imperfection in the finish below the B string bridge saddle intonation screw) that were incredibly hard to get to show up in pictures and you have to hold it in just the right light to see. There seems to be some slightly dark discoloration towards the bottom of the guitar that is also a bit difficult to see. There is also a neat little dark spot in the wood grain under the finish on the top of the headstock.
Hate to sell it, but I have too many Strats and could use the money and space.
