This is an all original 1959 Fender Stratocaster with maple board. It even has some awesome case candy included in photos. Original tweed hardshell case. Paint is chipping at the base of the guitar shown in photos but it is stable and not flaking off with playing. Pickup readings: Bridge 5.57 ohms, Middle 5.64, Neck 5.19. The bridge pickup is crackly and variably cuts out when moving the volume knob while the selector switch is in the bridge pickup position. Does not do this in the middle and neck position. Once the volume knob is stopped at a number, it stops crackling and functions properly. For serious buyers, I have small demonstration videos of my lackluster playing to hear the guitar. Weighs 7.21 pounds. Purchased form a reputable dealer in Maryland a few years ago that assured me it was all original when purchased. See the many photos internally from when I purchased. No returns, unless found not as described and no international shipping.
