FENDER CLASSIC SERIES 60s STRATOCASTER Rare Canary Diamond Yellow Strat 65243
Classic Series 60s Strat in a rare and cool Canary Diamond FSR finish.
Description
You're looking at a 2014 Fender Classic Series 60s Stratocaster in a rare Factory Special Run (FSR) Canary Diamond Yellow finish with mint green pickguard. Special run made for Guitar Center only one year. This one has been upgraded with Fender Custom Shop Texas Special pickups with cloth wire. That's a $150 pickup set seen on many USA made Fenders. This guitar looks extremely clean. No dings or scratches to be found. Looks like this was hardly played. Don't know why. It's a beautiful guitar. Frets and neck in excellent shape. Really neat vintagy vibe with the rare color. I have just changed the strings and set the intonation. It is ready to play. Comes with tremolo bar but no case. Weight is 7 pounds, 14 ounces. I do a full cleaning and setup on all guitars. (Details on my setups and packing at bottom of listing.) Thanks for looking!

Guitar Setup
My setup on guitars 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. I spray out any pots that are noisy. I 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. I don't claim to be a trained luthier, but I'm able to set guitars/basses for a reasonable out-of-box experience and have had very few complaints. If you're looking for the perfect setup on a used guitar, please expect to take it to a trained luthier who is familiar with your individual playing style and preferences. ps: basses get the same setup minus the new strings. 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 10 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 "THERE IN ONE PIECE...How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
