Sound & Playability
This Lone Star Strat has been well cared for and plays exceptionally well. The Custom Shop Texas Special pickups in neck and middle positions and Pearly Gates bridge make it ideal for blues and rock gritty sounds. The Lone Star is basically an American Standard spec Strat with upgraded pickups and additional finish colors. First 3 production years came with the quality black tolex case with Cheney UK clasps before Fender moved to the molded style case. Comes with some paperwork including its original store receipt. 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, 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.
