1988 Fender Stratocaster American Vintage'62 Reissue John Cruz #47078. WORKING CONDITION: Very Good - Freshly set up from Old Style Guitar Shop in Los Angeles CA, this guitar is playing with an amazing feel! Really nice low action and clean notes and bending throughout the neck. In our opinion, an ideal playing guitar that really feels like a vintage 60's strat.
All of the electronics are fully functional. Tonally this guitar sounds amazing as well. Overall, everything is in excellent working condition.
PHYSICAL CONDITION: Good - This guitar is technically vintage being from the'80s... But really, it's the closest thing to a Pre-CBS Fender Strat without going into a 5-figure price range.Built in 1988 at the famous Fullerton factory with the same tools that Fender used back in the 60s... This is more authentic than any other reissue or boutique builder out there. Add to that it has the name stamp on the neck of the young John Cruz who is now a famed Fender Masterbuilder and considered one of the best. There are a variety of scrapes and chips in the finish on the body as the guitar was played live. The back of the neck around the 5th fret has a few noticeable dings in the finish and the headstock have a few dings in the wood as well and there are some light divots on the frets in the usual heavy play areas.
The lacquer finish behind the tuners is chipped up, see photos. Otherwise, the black paint is clean, with a piano-like shine, and the guitar is expertly crafted and "solid".

Without having to curb your enthusiasm of basking in the glow of your new piece of gear, think in terms of preserving it in its mint condition until certain you are keeping it. For instance, if it were rack gear, we would recommend avoiding racking it until you were certain it was a "keeper".
Thus preventing any possible "rack rash" or scratches. If it were a guitar pedal, avoid sticking Velcro on it and mounting to your pedal board until it passed your test to be knighted and sit at your round table of pedals. Although tempting to have both of your favorite things together, put down the chicken wings slathered in barbecue sauce that is dripping all over your leather vest and beard and be sure your hands are clean and dry before trying out your awesome new gear.
Pet odors, cigarette and other smoke items can also affect the "newness" of your gear. Also, keep the gear away from your friend with the Billy Ray Cyrus mullet driving the Camaro. He's a good guy and he means well, but years of smoke tar and beer bongs have dulled his perceptions.
Incorrect voltage, self-repair, exposure to extreme temperatures, moisture damage, or incorrect application, etc. Earphones, microphones or other items that have intimate mouth, face or body contact.
