There are a couple of wear marks which are visible in the photo, but nothing major. Electrics are sound and everything is original with no replacement parts. The paint has oxidised with age, but hey, that's part of the pleasure in owning one of these! This guitar is quite heavy for a Strat, with a low action, very easy to play. Comes complete with original Fender flight case. Ł1400 - Buyer to collect please. More pics available. E-mail dixiedeano@ntlworld.com Pics are a bit dodgy, it hasn't got stripey strings! http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa273/dixiedean_pix/guitar011.jpg Edited by Dixie, Aug 28 2008, 02:21 PM.

	and now for something completely different

I set the price based on what I have seen them selling for elsewhere, up to Ł1700 and that is without the original case! What sort of price should I be looking at do you think? I would be happy with 1k. -3 bolt neck? It is secured by 3 bolts if that's what you mean
