Hello everyone.

I'm having to sell my Strat as I've a few and I need to make some funds available. 

This was bought from Guitarguitar in early 2023 so I've had it for a couple of years now. It's been gigged and played and isn't a case queen so it's priced appropriately.

It's a limited edition 1959 model and it's got a very thin flash coat of nitro lacquer and it does wear and chip easily so there are marks, ding, chips, strum marks and so on, but aside from the obvious you have to be looking to see anything else. I've tried to take as many pictures to show it all but it's difficult because of the colour and lighting.

It has a D profile neck which is lovely, 7.25 - 9.5 inch compound radius so it plays really well and a really nice dark rosewood board. It's got 22 frets and the frets have plenty of life left in them, and it comes with all the case candy, the certificate and all. The backplate is off but it's included. It has premium schaller strap buttons on and I'll include the locks.

It's fully stock and set up recently by Zeitgeist Guitars where I had the original bridge pickup put back in and I had the tone controls changed to the standard setup where the tone controls work for all pickups, whereas originally it was as is said in the notes of the traveller as below where the middle pickup doesn't have tone control.

It's all original aside from that with no breaks or structural damage or anything.

I'll do it for £2225 delivered for forum members, or you can collect for £2200. Another option is that I can drive it to you or meet you somewhere within an hour of East London/Essex for £25. Bank transfer or PayPal gift is preferred. 

Thanks and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

I have the same neck on one of mine. Amazing vintage taper from 0.8 to something like 0.96 from memory. Quite full shouldered but a real Goldilocks neck

Do you want to buy it? I can't promise I won't leave the forum if you don't though. 
Ok I’ll be that guy - what does it weigh?

I've had a couple of things from the OP, great guy to deal with.
