Fender Baritone Stratocaster Hardtail - 27" Sub-Sonic Fender Strat Neck + Warmoth Swamp Ash Body 40649
Description (More pics below)
What It Is
This is a Fender Baritone Stratocaster featuring a genuine Fender Sub-Sonic 27" maple neck paired with a Warmoth Swamp Ash body. Beautiful playing and looking guitar. Weight = 7lbs, 10oz. Comes with Road Runner bag.
Condition
Could easily be classed as "mint." No dings, dents or scratches. Frets excellent. There is some mild scuffing around the tuner bushings but it's very hard to see unless you turn it in just the right light. All electronics work great. Fender Strat pickups (unsure what model) measure 7.18 ohms neck, 5.95 mid, and 6.30 bridge. CTS 250k pots, orange drop capacitor, and some cloth wire used.
Sound & Playability
This guitar is light and easy to handle with rear body contour for comfort. Currently set up with baritone strings and tuned B to B, but I can set it up for other baritone tunings if buyer wants. C-shape, 27" scale neck feels great and 9.5" modern radius feels like most Fender necks. Plays great all over neck with very nice low action.
It was put together by previous owner using nice parts and you can feel the quality. String-thru body and hardtail design means tuning is not an issue and the electronics and pickups sound big and fat. It is ready to play and enjoy with no issues. Rare baritone Strat in great condition. (I do a full setup and expert packing--it will come ready to play out of the box.) Thanks!

"Guitar was packed perfectly for shipping. Everything arrived exactly as described. A lot of care and attention was put into the setup (intonation is perfect). Seller was nice enough to include some extras. Excellent seller! Thank you so much!"

Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Thanks!
Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
About Me
My store is a one-person small business that has been selling used guitars and basses for 15 years now. I do a basic setup and cleaning on every instrument I sell, so depending on workload it may be 1-2 business days before your guitar ships. When it arrives you can depend on it being, clean, set up, and securely packed. Check my feedback for confirmation. Thanks!
