Beautiful guitar but I rarely play it, I tend to play my Telecaster and the Stratocaster stays in its case . . I've owned this for 7 or 8 years now and it really has been a case queen. I didn't like the skinny frets that were on it when I first bought it so it had a very professional refret, courtesy of our very own Mr Steve Robinson. The fretboard still has the standard vintage 7 1/4" Radius but as it now has the taller Dunlop 6105 ( narrow tall ) frets, it doesn't choke out and it feels much closer in profile to my 97 Telecaster. 

The Brown G&G Fender Case its in now is not the original . . . The Original Tweed Case was stained quite heavily with oil or ?? so I cleaned it up as best I could and sold it to buy the one that's with the guitar now . .The 5 way selector was already fitted by the time I bought the guitar and the original 3 way selector was not in the case when I opened it . Other than the refret, the guitar is completely stock . . . The strap shown on the guitar was a gift and is now on my Telecaster but I do have a fender strap that I'll include.

I'd much prefer local pickup if that's at all possible but if "YOU" want to arrange your own Courier I'll bubble wrap it up and make sure its fit to travel . . . There is a UPS Drop Off Shop literally around the corner from my house so it will be scanned and put onto the UPS System within 5 minutes of me leaving my place . . .

Id just like to point out that, despite all the video and DNA evidence, it genuinely wasn't me, your Honour  !
