SOLD Fender USA Roadhouse Strat in Olympic white, £450
What's Hot
Bargain price for a really, really nice-sounding American Strat in good condition. I believe this is the Roadhouse model, so they'll be Texas Special pickups.
It's this one here:

So I bought it from @DrBob's mate and fitted a Duesenberg Multibender to create a sort of pseudo pedal steel. But then I barely touched the damned thing, so sod it, I've put it back as it was and here you go. The Multibender left a couple of screw holes behind the bridge that I've filled; you might want to touch them up but they're not obvious.
No offers at this price. I might consider a trade/part-ex involving an American Tele or a Gibson EB/SG bass.
Collection from London SW16, Teddington TW11 or anywhere in between.

My trading feedback - I'm a good egg
It arrived yesterday but didn't get a thorough play until this afternoon.
It's a great guitar! The condition is excellent (a ding to the edge of the fret board and those two tiny holes that have been filled - but otherwise really really good).
At this point I have to say, I'm not a big Strat player and I have always avoided maple 'boards. However, this is a great player and of the four USA Strats I've owned this is easily the best neck.
The rest is as you would expect for a USA Strat, though with a bit more aggression from the Texas Specials.
So, thanks @dickieguitar and @bazxkr for making it happen.
