SOLD 97 USA Roadhouse Strat

DrBob

Mornin' All,

Right, Sticking this one up on behalf of my friend Dave for the second time this year in fact, as I recall @Hymnal made an offer on it last time it was up but it didn't sell that time around.

Anyway with the year drawing to a close Dave has (like many of us) been taking stock of the many chattels that surround him and has decided that this white wonder needs to go so I give you his  maple board Fender Roadhouse Strat:

It's a 1997 model from back when they were still made in the US.

From what I understand of the USA Roadhouse model it was essentially the same as the USA Standard Strat of the period with the substitution of Texas Special pickups & a pearloid plate so it's 22 frets, 2 point trem etc, etc

In addition Dave has added the Supervee Mag Lok which allows unison and country style bends without the other strings going flat, while still having a floating trem. This is easily removed If not required.

It comes with a Fender molded hard case.

I think a fair assessment of the guitar would be a good honest guitar with some play wear.
Here's a photo of the fretwear:

A little nick on the fingerboard:

And some wear through on the fretboard lacquer

But if there are any specific details you're looking for let me know and I'll hook you up with Dave to discuss and get more specific pics etc

I think he was maybe beng a bit optimistic on pricing last time around so this time so this time....

For Sale at £600 or close offer

Trades ? Well as we all know cash is King but the market is slooowww so things he's expressed an interest in:

Kemper Profiler (Yes we know it's worth more than the guitar but worth putting it out there right ?)
POD HD plus cash his way
SG Standard
WHY ?

The guitar and indeed Dave are in High Wycombe but he's around London quite a lot with work so there are options to meet & try it out

Thanks all for looking

Doctor, Doctor! Has this gone? Just thinking how nice that toilet seat would look with my Multibender...

DrBob
