A striking sapphire blue 2014 Standard Stratocaster Hard Tail This item was acquired secondhand. Unlike typical synchronized tremolo systems, this guitar features a hardtail bridge, offering a direct tone and excellent tuning stability. It boasts the easy handling characteristic of a Stratocaster while delivering a powerful, focused sound. Featuring a poplar body and maple neck and fretboard, this guitar delivers a clear and crisp tone. Furthermore, the pickups have been replaced with Fender Noiseless Pickups, maintaining the bright, characteristic Stratocaster sound while reducing noise. This versatile instrument excels in a wide range of situations, from clean tones to overdrive sounds. This particular guitar has undergone several modifications, including replacement of the bridge saddle, pickup replacement and associated routing expansion, replacement of the tension pins, slight deformation of the end pin on the body end (this does not affect the body), and some faint scratches, playing wear, dents, and significant tarnishing of the hardware. It is in player's condition. The frets have about 70% of their height remaining, and there are no issues with playability, including the neck condition, truss rod, and electronics, so it can be enjoyed for many years to come. Due to the modifications and signs of use, it is offered at a bargain price! Please consider it while you have the chance! 2014 model, soft case included.
