FS: MIJ ST68 Strat - SUPER LIGHT!
FS: 2022 Fender MIJ '68 75th Anniversary Strat — 3TSB, dark board, 7lb of joy — £725 firm shipped, no trades
Right. Let's talk about your back.
You're 58. You've been telling yourself for fifteen years that the next Les Paul is "the one." You've got an osteopath on retainer, a wife who sighs when you reach for the strap, and a downstairs loo full of Vintage Guitar magazines you pretend to read for the articles. Last gig you played, you needed two paracetamol and a sit-down by the second chorus of Sultans of Swing.
I have the answer.
Seven. Pounds.
Not "seven and a half if I leave the trem block out." Not "seven on a good day with the strap off." Seven pounds on a calibrated scale, which is approximately the weight of a roast chicken, a Yorkshire terrier, or the average man's dignity after asking the sound engineer to "just take a bit off the bottom end."
This is a 2022 MIJ '68 75th Anniversary Stratocaster in 3-tone sunburst with a dark rosewood board so unmarked it looks like it's never met a human finger. Texas Specials in it because Fender, in their wisdom, knew that men of a certain age need their single coils to sound like they were recorded in a Dallas pawnshop in 1962. Comes with a gigbag, because at 7lb you don't need a flight case: you could carry this thing home from the pub in a Tesco carrier and it'd still arrive in tune.
Lovely neck- C shaped, thick enough to please, slim enough to slide right into you. (I've used this line before, believe me)
Condition: pristine. Untouched. The previous owner (me) treated it like a Fabergé egg that owed him money. No buckle rash. No dings. No mysterious sticky residue from the time you spilled Glenfiddich on it at the Christmas party in 2019. The fretboard is darker than your prognosis.
Why am I selling? Because I have too many guitars, and unlike my back, my marriage isn't load-bearing. Oh, and I just bought a Porsche so I am broke.
£850 shipped UK mainland. No trades. No "would you take £600 and a Squier Bullet in mint." No "my mate's got a Tokai." Cash, PayPal F&F if we know each other, bank transfer if we don't.
Your spine will write me a thank-you note.
