Fender 2005 Roland Ready Stratocaster GC-1 13-Pin GK PU Strat 04793

Description (more pics below)
You're looking at a 2005 60th Anniversary Fender GC-1 Roland Ready Stratocaster in black finish, made in Mexico. Plays with all the advantages of a standard Strat with the added bonus of a 13-pin jack that enables you to connect via MIDI to various Roland synth units. Features:

— Alder body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard.

— Roland GK pickup w/ On/Off/Blend miniswitch.

— 9.5" radius, C-shape neck.

This near 20-year-vintage Strat is in very good condition. All stock except for some upgraded chrome string trees. Cosmeticaly, clean with only tiny playing marks and some scuffing on the pickguard. Also a tiny hole on the back of the headstock (see pics). The frets are in great condition, smooth back of neck, and dark, rich rosewood board. All electronics work well. I have tested the GK pickup with my Roland processor. Weight is 8 pounds, 4 ounces. Comes with tremolo bar but NO case. I do a full setup and expert packing: details below. FULL specs 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 take pride in doing a detailed cleaning and setup on every instrument I sell, so depending on my 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. 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 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.

Manufacturer Info
Equipped with a GK-2 Roland pickup, this unique model Strat is an awesome player that manages to do even more than the already versatile Stratocaster typically does. The electronics system allows the player complete control of their sound, fitted with dual outputs (1/4” and 13-pin) and the ability to play through them independently or simultaneously. The 5-way switch grants the player access to all the Stratocaster tones they know and love, while the Roland GK-2 enabled pickup affords endless midi possibilities.
