FENDER 2015 FSR Classic Series 50s Stratocaster Apple Green Strat 65465
Description (more pics below)
Strap on this cool 2015 Fender Classic Series 50s Stratocaster in rare Apple Green finish and you'll be transported back in time to the Buddy Holly days. Features:
-- Alder body & maple neck w/ soft V
-- Chunky 50s C neck w/ vintage size frets
-- Vintage spec single coil pickups
-- Vintage style synchronized tremolo
This was part of a limited run Fender did of six "Car Colors" where they matched vintage auto paint finishes. Aged control knobs and pickup covers lend a nice contrast to the single-ply white pickguard. Soft V neck feels great in the hands.
Cosmetically in good shape with a mild ding on the edge and the well-known paint cracks at the neck joint, purely cosmetic. Frets are in great condition. Comes with tremolo bar but no case. Weight is a comfortable 8 pounds, 0 ounces. See details on my setups and packing, as well as full specs, at bottom of listing. 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 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.
