Read our feedback and rest assured that The Dude Abides. 

In a world of iconic guitars and legendary guitar builders there is one electric guitar that rules the roost. The Fender Stratocaster is certainly the instrument that the guitar playing world would come to place upon the pedestal of greatness. The Fender Strat has been on more stages and graced more recordings than likely any other model or brand. This example of Stratocaster Power is exemplary in its condition, appearance and certainly its performance. This beauty was produced in Japan circa 1993-1994 this classic piece will take you back to Miami and the heady days at the Thunderbird Motel and has everything you'll need to fuel your performance and take it to the next level. Fender started with a lightweight, three-piece premium Alder body and loaded it with three ST-Vintage pickups, wired traditionally with the exception of a five-way switch to make accessing the "in between" sounds a cinch. The neck is a beautiful straight grain, one piece maple affair with a slick, substantial oval profile, 21 vintage-style frets and classic four-bolt installation. An authentically tooled, vintage style bridge and saddles, classic tuning machines and period correct nut width keep the vintage mojo rolling along perfectly. The guitar has a perfect, classic Strat tone down with plenty of punch, running the spectrum from smooth bell-like warmth, scooped funky quack, and percussive, incendiary, biting lead tones. This instrument is running on all cylinders with a classically balanced, perfectly contoured feel to both the neck and body. Warm and resonant, biting and articulate this axe has rock and roll heart, Chicago Blues in its soul, and a 12 pack sitting in Duane's van in the Criteria Studios parking lot. Cosmetically the piece is a pretty as a show pony with only a few little ding/nicks on the front and light scratches on the back. (not through the finish) Best of all this gem is professionally set up and dialed in for immediate rocking! The frets show no divots, have plenty of life and have been dressed/leveled/polished to shine like new. If you are looking for a long-term, main squeeze that with continue to naturally relic along with you over the ages this vintage toned, red-hot firecracker will set you right.

We follow Reverb’s 7-day return policy. However:

We record demo videos of every guitar before shipping to document exact condition and performance. Additional photos, measurements, or in-hand descriptions are available upon request prior to purchase.  

Minor adjustments and tweaks to a set up (for example to correct a slight buzz or truss-rod tweak) are normal after shipping due to carrier mishandling the package, climate & atmospheric changes, especially when moving from South Florida to colder or less humid environments. These slight issues do not constitute “significantly not as described.” Guitars must be returned in the exact same condition as received/advertised or additional repair/restocking fees will apply.  

We are a small business, not a big-chain retailer. We invest significant time and effort into every guitar. This is a NO TIRE-KICKING shop. There is no post purchase haggling or partial refunds. If minor cosmetic marks, tiny imperfections, or the possibility of a post-shipping setup tweak makes you uncomfortable, please do not buy. Plenty of large retailers offer free trials and can absorb shipping costs—we do not.
