Fender American Strat, 60th Ann, Lindy Fralins

[mnjordan]

OK, I'm really wanting Tommyga's Mary Kay Tele, so I've priced this one to move!!

This is a Fender Highway One Strat that is stock, with the exception of the body, and the pickups. Both have been upgraded:

The body is an Alder Warmoth body that they finished in 3 tone sunburst, which cost me $440. It has a lifetime warranty, and I'll provide the receipt with this sale. This guitar is far, far, far better now than it was from the Fender factory. It's actually my best playing Strat, the other two just have too much sentimental value for me to sell.

The rest of the guitar is all american Fender, with the exception of the pickups, which are the most excellent Lindy Fralin Vintage Hots. The bridge pickup has the bass plate. These pickups are $270, as I'm sure you all know.

The neck has the "60th Anniversary" badge on it. The fingerboard is extremely beautiful - super dark.

The Fender gig bag and and case candy is all included. The plastic is still on the Fender logo on the gig bag!

I want to get $550 PayPal'd and shipped for this one. No trades, trying to get a jazz box, and this is going towards that. I have more than $700 in upgrades in this one, so it's a great deal.

It just had it's half year setup by my favorite tech, so it's good to go! It's an absolutely killer guitar, and if it doesn't sell, I certainly won't mind keeping it.

The intent is obviously negative, but whatever.

This is a selling forum, no? I admit that it was kind of silly how I posted it, took it down and then re-posted it, but I don't consider that trolling.

You just don't know PA's sense of humor yet, once you're here a while, you'll see he was playing with his words. Naughty boy, he.

I have to add though, the guitar is not a 60th anniversary. The neck is from a Highway One that was built in late '05 or very early '06 it seems.

Here is a shot of my 60th. You'll notice the annv guitars have the fake diamond on the headstock. There are other differences too.





Don't take my reply wrong either, I think you're guitar is beautiful. The finish and wood grain on that body is simply gorgeous.

Good Luck on the sale.

2 pt bridge vs Vintage 6 too. Extra string tree too.

AH, thank you so much. I have been receiving a ton of questions about this guitar, and stuff was starting to not add up. The 6 point bridge and extra string tree, specifically.

I was scared I'd been duped into buying a parts guitar or something similar.

I looked up that guitar, and apparently it was the last Highway One model before Fender switched to the big headstock. The axe was sort of an impulse purchase at a sale at the local store, and I never really took the time to find anything out about it.

I need to edit the title of this listing.

Price is the same, but what I really want to do is trade it for an American or Japanese Tele!

There's nothing wrong with a parts guitar if the parts are quality and the price accurately reflects the fact.

Not at all - I just bought this from a store, sold as a new Fender and all that. As a matter of fact, the Strat nearest and dearest to my heart is a parts guitar. I don't see how Fender's or anyone else's parts are any better than the ones that make my my blackie:



LOVE this guitar.

That's gorgeous. Is it nitro?
