57 American Vintage Reissue Strat WITHDRAWN

Van_Hayden

Surplus to requirements....well it's not but the wife has noticed some recent arrivals. My fault for leaving them on stands....

Here is my rather nice 57 Strat. I went through a lot of these until I found an exceptional one. Bought it, it was a Mary Kaye white blond one, then swapped it for this as this was even better.

It's a late 90s guitar, great condition. Only problem really is marks from a guitar hanger rubber eating into the nitro on the neck. Could be repaired but it doesn't bother me.

Not a lot of fretwear - 9/10 really. Plays great, very resonant 2 piece body. Its better sounding than my Johnson Strat, but i prefer the fatter neck on the johnson. About 8lb.

So here it is in the sun:

Lovely Geetar there Van. Whereabouts are you and do you know what frets (size) they are please?

And what fingerboard radius - 7.25" presumably?

Cheers - it's really nice, don't really want to part with it....

Near Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. And fret size is vintage small&thin. Although it plays really well. You're more than welcome to come & try it!

Cheers Van, but I can't get on with small frets as I've lost the tops off 3 fingers so they have to be at least med jumbo's.  Thanks anyway mate and good luck with the sale.

Thanks all the same - you'll be needing an Eric Johnson Strat!
