This is pretty much a standard 2012 American Standard Stratocaster, Alder body, C shape neck profile, synthetic bone nut 1.685 width, 2-Point Synchronized Tremolo with bent steel saddles. It is a beautiful Lake Placid Blue color and has and has a 3 ply aged pearl cream modern pickguard and spring plate (spring plate is not in photos but is included) But, the thing that separates this one and makes it cool is it has factory installed Seymour Duncan SLS-1 Lipstick pickups. These style pickups were famous for being standard on Danelectro Guitars which were very popular and played by Jimmy Hendrix, Jimmy Page, etc.. Google who played them. Fender Custom Shop has used these pickups on some of their creations. These have a tone of their own with a faster response and better note definition. I have the original hard case but it was used a couple of years and has travel stickers on it so substituted a new Fender molded case (see photo). Your welcome to have the original case instead of the new one but I am not sure I can remove all the stickers. I love this guitar and it has great Karama and I am only selling it because I am old and don't play that much anymore.
