Fender Modern Player Short Scale Stratocaster 2013 - Sunburst Strat + bag & papers 29579
Description (More pics below)
You're looking at a very rare 2013 Fender Modern Player Short Scale Stratocaster in sunburst finish. Features:
— Alder body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard
— 24” scale, C-profile, 9.5" radius neck
— Guild bridge pickup & 2 vintage Strat PUs
These are super hard to find. The 24" scale neck feels great in the hands and the slightly downsized body is a nice treat if you're used to a standard full sized Fender Strat. Weight only 6lbs, 15oz!
Condition
Guitar is extremely clean. There are two small imperfections, one at the tip of headstock and one on the lower edge (see pics). Frets are in clean shape. All electronics work perfect. Comes with Fender gig bag, downsized trem arm, and sealed paperwork.
Playability
This is basically like someone took your Fender Strat and shrunk it about 10 percent in size. It's got a nice sounding Guild humbucking pickup in the bridge. The neck plays amazing. Fender didn't skimp on quality with this axe. Body contour on back. Synchronized tremolo. Engraved neck plate. Five-position switch, with Volume and Tone. I do a full setup and expert packing: details below. Thanks for looking.
PS: Since one prospective buyer asked I included some pics at the end of the gallery comparing this guitar to a standard sized Strat.

"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!
