A superb example of a late-'90s USA Fender Roadhouse Stratocaster finished in the timeless Candy Apple Red finish with a maple neck and pearloid scratchplate.

The Roadhouse models have become increasingly sought after over the years, offering a slightly more refined take on the traditional Stratocaster formula while retaining everything players love about a classic American Fender. This one delivers all the trademark Strat tones you'd expect, from glassy cleans and sparkling neck pickup sounds through to punchy bridge pickup bite.

The Candy Apple Red finish looks fantastic in person, complemented perfectly by the maple neck and pearloid guard. It's a real eye-catcher without being over the top.

This example comes complete with its original Fender moulded hard case, tremolo arm, original paperwork and case candy.

A very clean, honest USA Strat from a great era of Fender production.

Condition

Fantastic condition throughout.

The finish remains bright and vibrant with only light signs of use and handling consistent with a well cared-for preloved instrument. There are no significant dings, chips or repairs to note, and the guitar presents exceptionally well overall.

The frets show minimal wear, the hardware remains clean, and it has clearly spent much of its life safely stored in its case.

A particularly clean example of a USA Roadhouse Stratocaster.
