Selling my first electric guitar. I've had this guitar for 13 years, and I've kept it this long for a reason.
This American Special Strat is one of the most versatile guitars I've ever played, spanning jazz, blues, contemporary, and rock music.
The Texas Special pickups allow for this guitar to have a natural overdrive without needing a distortion pedal or gain knobs on your amplifier. These pickups really allow a player to pick a note in an infinite number of ways; it's verrrry sensitive to how and where you pick a string.
There are some blemishes on the left front and right side. I also tried engraving my initials on the back a long time ago.
I replaced the stock pickup covers and knobs with vintage cream ones, and I replaced the stock white pickguard with a handmade wooden purple paisley pick guard.
This strat is looking for a new home as I focus more on piano.
