This is very lightly used Stratocaster in the much-desired Lake Placid Blue color. Almost mint. There are a couple sharpened-pencil tip spots on front, which appear to just be finish flaws, as opposed to bumps or dings. All the case candy and hang tags are included. I think the photos speak for themselves as to the beauty and condition of this guitar and its original case.
The Fender American Series Stratocaster is, in my opinion, one of the best guitar series put out by Fender. This is when they made numerous changes in design and tone. Fender stopped laminating the bodies; used staggered tuners with one string tree instead of two; went to the the spaghetti logo; resumed the HSH routing, as opposed to the "swimming pool" routing; and switched from the TBX (tone-bass-cut) to the Delta Tone system. The pick guard and trim went to parchment.
The Delta Tone is on the 2nd tone knob and affects the bridge and middle pickups. The "switch" is at the 10 position on that knob. It essentially shuts off the tone control and opens up the pickup's tone. If you like a darker sound, then it's probably not for you. But when I play guitars with this system, I keep it clicked on all the time.
This is another rare example of a great period in Fender history.
