Up for sale, a 1996 Fender Stratocaster Plus deluxe 50th Anniversary edition in Very nice, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original molded hardshell case and strap. Produced from 1987-1998, the Stratocaster Plus was a premium model designed to showcase the skills of Fender's new Corona, CA factory. This Strat Plus features a trio of Lace Sensor pickups, a Wilkinson roller nut, two-point vibrato with block saddles, Schaller locking tuners, and a Hipshot Tremsetter (currently installed).

These Stratocaster Plus models are some of the highest quality instruments Fender ever built.

A resonant and lively instrument, this Strat is the perfect tonal platform for the trio of USA-made Lace Sensor pickups (Blue-Silver-Silver). The Lace Sensor Silver was designed to recreate the fat, authoritative sound of a ‘70s single coil, as well as accentuating the quack and cut of positions 2 and 4 on the pickup selector switch. The Lace pickups feature a unique radiant Field Barrier system that surrounds both the coil and magnets, reducing 60-cycle hum. The patented Lace Micro Combs replace traditional bobbins, yielding a wider tonal range and better string balance than traditional guitar pickups. This guitar weighs 8lbs 4oz,setup with 10-46 strings, low action, and perfect intonation.

Cosmetic wear on the red finish is limited to a number of small and tiny dings, some paint on the edges, and on the body as a whole (see the pics) and an area of limited buckle rash on the back central to the upper bout. Beautifully relic'd if you ask me. The smooth satin finish on the neck profile is immaculate.
