FENDER 72 Pawn Shop Stratocaster Telecaster + TV Jones PU Japan MIJ 03501
Description (more pics below)
Here’s a Fender 72 Pawn Shop guitar in nice condition, made in Japan, with upgraded TV Jones pickup in the bridge that sounds AMAZING!
Features include:
-- Alder body, maple neck, rosewood board
-- C-profile, 9.5" radius neck w/ medium-jumbo frets
— Semi-hollow body w/ F-hole
Great idea to join a Stratocaster body with a Telecaster neck and why not make it a semi-hollow design with an F-hole while you're at it? So many cool features: from the 3-bolt neck, bullet truss rod, "F” tuners & neck plate, two mismatched pickups, single volume and pickup blend knob--it's a winner. Guitar has been upgraded with a TV Jones in the bridge and Strat-style pickup in the neck.
The TV Jones is really amazing, and the Strat PU also sounds great. A lot of juicy tones on tap. Cosmetically a few marks around edges (see pics). Frets still have life with some mild playing wear. Finish on back of neck has been lightly sanded so it resembles closer the satin back Fender necks. Weight is 7 pounds, 8 ounces. NO case. I do a full setup and expert packing: details below. Thanks for looking.
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!
Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, clean and oil fingerboard. 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. We do a basic setup since setup is highly subjective you may want to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier anyway. Thanks!
Packing
Search "How to Pack a Guitar + Hot Girls" on YouTube for a video showing how I pack. I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. You can also read my packing blog post on my StillKickinMusic website. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
