Description: 2008 Fender FSR American Deluxe Stratocaster 50th Anniversary Mahogany, Rosewood fretboard with original molded hard shell case.Great guitar, has been loved, played, taken care of, but not babied, hence quite a bit of cosmetic imperfections, which are in my opinion not worth to describe in detail except one: Pictures #8 and #9 show some finish damage and there is a crack in finish. With enough use and abuse that little piece may peel off and expose under layer or maybe even wood. I considered fixing it, but it is a player-grade instrument and need to appreciate it as such, this is not a collector's piece. I am leaving that crack to the next owner to deal with as they wish. If you want to buy it, buy it to play it and enjoy it - it sounds AWESOME. SCN pickups and mahogany body is a special combination, most notably that neck pickup sounds amazing. So much so that I put the same pickups into a mahogany strat body and neck I had laying around and got pretty close, but not the same as this one. I considered keeping it, but if I keep every "special" guitar that comes through my hands - I will be broke. Don't get high on your own supply they say :) There is fret wear, visible, but not dramatic, can still play with fairly low action without fretting out or unacceptable buzz. Neck is in a very good condition, back of the neck is smooth, no bumps or knicks to speak of. Another notable feature is LSR Roller Nut, which I consider one of the best Fender's innovations of 1990's. Eliminates friction at the nut, in combination with locking tuners and modern deluxe 2 point tremolo which also has a small screw to adjust trem bar tightness in the cavity really helps tuning stability. If you like using a tremolo on a Stratocaster - this is the best system to use, a great modern upgrade, as close as you can get to Floyd Rose type locking system without having one. I install LSR nuts, Schaller locking tuners and 2 point deluxe tremolos on all partscasters I make for myself. Quick specs: Maple neck, black headstock, Schaller locking tuners, rosewood fretboard, LSR Roller Nut. Mahogany body, contoured neck heel. Fender Deluxe 2-point tremolo Fender SCN Pickups HSS with S1 switch (5 more sounds) Comes with original HSC which is a VERY good condition, some original case candy.
