SOLD: 1996 Fender USA Strat in Sonic Blue with OHSC

1996 Fender USA Strat in Sonic Blue with original case - £SOLD

1996 Fender USA Strat in Sonic Blue with original hard case
I got this guitar from a good customer, and he told me it was in fact his roadie’s guitar, and the roadie didn’t play guitar, but he fancied having one anyway!
This fits in well with the condition – it really is extremely nice, as is the hard case which is one of the best examples I’ve seen of this type – usually they get scratched, cracked, the feet get pushed in the catches and hinges stop working properly, but this one is amazing – all perfect. Definitely worth £120+ on its own.
The body is great, just starting to age nicely in places with a bit of a green hue around the edges of the guitar, which is how this colour goes with age. The fretboard dots have started to age too, along with the general colour of the neck, all big plus points to me.
However, it does have a few marks on it – a wear mark on one fret which could easily be dressed out (all the other frets are perfect) and some indentation on the rosewood board between the frets on the first positions, probably caused by someone’s finger nails. Not a problem, not really notable and doesn’t affect the guitar at all when playing, but I wanted to mention it anyway.
Other than that it’s absolutely lovely, pots and neck pocket date correctly, and of course it’s in a great colour which isn’t so easy to find.
It’s now 28 years old, so already vintage, and a perfect guitar to play and use, but also a guaranteed asset.
