Withdrawn - EOB Stratocaster - Nov 2017

maw4neu

I struggled with the neck a little at first but I got over that and its actually quite comfy once you've got your head around it . . . 

It comes with all tags, as per the images, it has one tiny nick in the surface just above the Sustainer On/Off button, the Trem Arm is short and that's how I like them, I don't actually think it was original to the guitar, but they are available from Axesrus or eBay for not much, and the Gig Bag it came in was not the Deluxe Fender rather more a Budget Fender Gigbag.

Trade wise : possibly I'd like a USA Strat with Maple Neck or a Roadworn Vintera Strat  . . I'm aware of what the EOB Stratocasters go for on the various Auction Platforms but I'd just like a more conventional Strat at or around the same value and I can honestly say the neck profile, no longer matters to me as you just get used to what you play . . 

I've fitted a set of Ernie Ball 10's, set the intonation and dropped the action down to suit me . . . I've also put a smidgoen of tension on the neck as I'll probably try some 11's on it over the weekend, plus it only had 9's on it when I picked it up . . .    

I'd prefer a local pickup / swap and I've no problem if you want to pop over to try it first, that's only fair . .

Wis'd because it is a head thing, not a hand thing :-)

100% a head thing @roberty ;. . . I compared the neck on the EOB Strat to my Acoustic and the EOB is slimmer . . . I spend hours on my Acoustic and never give the neck size a thought . . . Once I'd banked that thought the EOB neck was no longer a bone of contention . . .
