Fender 2010 Highway One Stratocaster USA American Black Strat McNelly PUs 55869

Description (More pics below)
This is a 2010 Fender Highway One Stratocaster in Flat Black finish—excellent condition with upgraded McNelly pickups. Weight = 7lbs, 11oz.

Condition
Cosmetically this 14-year-vintage guitar is in great shape. One tiny mark on the edge (see pics). Other than that nothing but mild hazing on the black finish (this guitar could be buffed to a shine if owner wants). I first thought it might be a refin because you see a red undercoat when you remove the pickguard, but according to Fender serial number lookup, it came from the factory in flat black in Jan. 2010. Jumbo frets are in very good condition.

Features
— Alder body w/ all maple neck

— 9.5” modern radius, C-shape neck

— Upgraded boutique McNelly “Nostalgia” pickups ($270 value!)

Sound & Playability
A truly beautiful player here with no issues. Pickups are a big step up from stock and include cloth wire and CTS pots. The neck feels great in the hands and has no errent marks on the back. Large 70s-style headstock, sealed tuners and 6-screw USA tremolo make for a smooth playing experience. Comes with a black gigbag. I do a full setup and expert packing: details below. FREE FedEx Ground in USA. Int’l contact for quote. 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, 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.
