This Fender Classic 50s Stratocaster is very clean. It plays and sounds fantastic. The frets show some signs of play wear but have plenty of life left. The neck is extremely comfortable with a nice smaller V profile. The pickguard is curled a little on the bass side but is in good shape (see photos). The Daphne Blue finish in combination with the single ply white guard is extremely attractive and makes this guitar stand out as a true classic amongst a sea of other modern Stratocasters. If you're in search of a vintage style guitar with incredible playability, sound, and looks, this one is for you.
