Fender 2007 American VG Roland Stratocaster Rare Blizzard Pearl USA Strat 35659
This is a 2007 Fender Roland VG Stratocaster in a very rare Blizzard Pearl finish with maple neck, made in America. There were fewer than 500 VG’s made with this finish. The guitar is in very nice cosmetic and playing condition. These guitars of course have some amazing Roland modeling on board. The T-knob provides you with 6 different tunings including: Normal, Open G, Drop D, Baritone, D Modal and 12 string.
The M-knob controls 5 different modes which include Normal, Modeled Strat, Modeled Tele, Modeled humbucking pickup, and modeled acoustic sounds. Cosmetically, there are some mild marks (see pics). Frets have some flattening and grooves but it still plays fine all over the neck. If you’re a big string bender, you might want to level the frets. 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.
