Nice looking guitar. Frets are in great shape. When Fender was still using rosewood for fretboards. Weight is 7 pounds, 9 ounces. Cosmetically looks good with some minor edge marks and marks from guitar hanger up by the nut. Comes with tremolo bar but no case. The serial number starts “MX14…,” but Fender website says it was made April 2015. Details on my setups and packing at bottom of listing. Thanks for looking!

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. Basses get the same treatment minus the string change. 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.

Fender Classic Series '60s Stratocaster Lacquer Features at a Glance:
Nitrocellulose lacquer finish for classic looks and sound
Maple neck with rosewood fingerboard delivers buttery playability
This axe has the right stuff at the right price
Nitrocellulose lacquer finish for classic looks and sound
This Fender Classic Series '60s Stratocaster wears a gorgeous nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Nitro finishes (standard back in the day) are significantly thinner than today's polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to breathe. Nitro finishes not only look vintage-y wonderful; they also enhance the instrument's tonal qualities. This guitar has the look (and feel) of a well-aged classic.
Maple neck with rosewood fingerboard delivers buttery playability
Leo Fender was a radio technician not a luthier, so goes the "excuse" for why his first round of guitars sported maple necks without separate fingerboards. At the beginning of the tumultuous '60s, Fender started offering rosewood fingerboards on its instruments. Much has been said about the relative sonic merits of maple vs. rosewood. Although rosewood-capped necks are undeniably warmer sounding, Mr. Fender's reasoning, according to legend, behind the move to rosewood was simply that he didn't like the visible wear on the maple. Players of all genres immediately lined up on both sides of the debate, which rages on. If you're a rosewood fan, the Fender Classic Series '60s Stratocaster Lacquer, with its maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, is for you.
