SOLD: Fender AVRI Hot Rod '62 Stratocaster

TimmyO · October 2021

*edit - SOLD* For Sale : Fender AVRI Hot Rod '62 Stratocaster in nitro Olympic White, Rosewood fretboard. £1250

This is the Hot Rod variant, with chunky C neck profile, medium-jumbo frets, and flatter fingerboard radius than the vintage-spec model it was based on.

Pickups are Fender Custom Shop Fat 50s

Bone nut, setup and fret dress by Jonny Kinkade. Plays beautifully, frets are in good condition.

High-mass steel trem block.

The guitar has been naturally 'reliced' - primarily through being the main gigging guitar of its previous owner. If you like them case-pristine, this is probably not for you. As well as the olympic White nitro fish having yellowed significantly over the years (first pic is the best colour representation) is has both natural checking lines, and play wear/dinks. The dink on the rear of the neck (see pics) I never notice under my hand, despite it being very obvious to the eye.

Collection in Swindon, or meet within reasonable distance thereof.
Delivery: Can ship insured - split cost with buyer.
I have a broken Fender hardcase I can ship it in (feel free to chuck it afterwards - I know many folk have no need of another hard case), or can include a Hiscox Liteflite for an additional £100

£1250

Pics:

This gives a good indication of the colour in the flesh (some of the other pics on the darker background looked whiter than it really is - this one is the best colour reference)

This one shows the natural checking lines that are present on both the front and back to varying degrees.
