2005 Fender American Standard Stratocaster Olympic White (SOLD)

SOLD
It’s still a very good buy on the market, this American Standard is now 10 years old. The American Standards debuted at the Summer ’86 NAMM show. A great series from Fender with lot of different improvements over the years. This is an exciting guitar. Not only because it plays superbly with very good sustain, but because it’s insanely clean. It looks like somebody bough it 10 years ago, played it for a few months. The natural ageing process turned the body finish a little yellower, it looks great! Hardware is shiny without any discolouration or pitting. Frets are near immaculate, 99%. It’s got an original Fender tortoise scratch plate installed (£50).

The great looking maple neck has some light flames which is extra rare on the USA Standard guitars!!

This American Standard is in true collector’s condition. Potential future value aside, this isn’t a huge investment and you may just want to make it your favourite gigging guitar. At £750, you can’t go wrong either way. Includes original case and all candy: manual, hang tag, tremolo arm, original Fender strap. Case isn’t as clean as the guitar but all latches and hinges work, which is remarkable for this model case.SOLD
