DESCRIPTION
This is a gently used Fender USA HM Strat that recently came into our shop on trade. We don't see these rare guitars very often, especially in this kind of excellent, fully functioning condition, but we're certainly happy this one came through our doors, and we're happy to offer it for sale!

As a used instrument, expect typical cosmetic signs of age-appropriate handling and use, including light surface scuffs, pick swirl, fingerprints, and a bit of dust here and there. That said, there are no notable scratches or dings, minimal (almost no) fret wear, and the clean "flat blade" screws at the end of the bridge suggest very few string changes over the years. The gentleman who traded this guitar said it has mostly been in storage, and he could not remember the last time it was actually played.

This guitar does not include a case, but it does come with a bunch of original case candy, hangtags, manuals, hex wrenches, and a funky tie-dyed strap already fitted with Schaller strap locks. Lots of details about this instrument are bulleted below, but don't hesitate to shoot us a message if you have any other questions or would like additional photos. Buyers outside the continental U.S. should contact us for a shipping quote prior to purchase.
