This item is preowned / used, but tested in shop to be fully functional unless otherwise noted in the description. Any case, box, manuals, or accessories included will be either shown in the photos or mentioned specifically in the description. Otherwise, you can assume they are not included.

Description:

no case included. Late-’80s MIJ Fenders have a well-earned reputation for excellent build quality and playability, and this one is no exception. The neck feel, fretwork, and overall fit-and-finish are exactly what players love about this era.

three DiMarzio rail pickups, offering higher output, noise reduction, and a more modern tonal range than standard single coils. The switching remains traditional Strat: master volume, two tone controls, and a 5-way blade.

notable buckle rash on the back of the body. Normal playing scratches are present on the pickguard. No cracks or structural issues. The modified MIDI jack remains present but is disconnected from the current electronics. Frets are clean, the neck is straight, and everything works correctly with the DiMarzio pickup system.
