1983 Fender Stratocaster Dan Smith Era Electric Guitar
SETUP & INSPECTED BY OUR TECH TEAM
All of our guitars come with a FREE professional setup to a comfortable action as specified by that instrument’s manufacturer. Our setups always include inspection of (and necessary adjustment to): action, intonation, tremolo angle, truss rod, frets, nut, bridge, and more. We can accommodate special setup requests - additional charges and/or shipping delays of 1-2 business days could occur.
INDIVIDUALLY PHOTOGRAPHED
After 15 years of innovation in our photography process, Ish Guitars has developed a way to get you the most accurate true-to-life color of every instrument we sell. We never embellish, oversaturate, or misrepresent our images, so that your buying experience can be as much like visiting our showroom as possible. Keep in mind that various computer screens can show colors a bit differently, so the color on your screen may not match the real thing perfectly no matter how hard we try. Also, unless otherwise noted, we individually list and photo every piece of gear that comes through our doors.

SPECS
Weight: 7.4 lbs
Case Details: Fender Hardshell Case (Good Condition)
Cosmetic Condition: Very good condition with some dings on the top back and sides. Some scratches throughout as well. The case has a bit of damage on the back and the metal rails are a bit bent. The piece of fabric that holds the case cracked open has come apart as well - so the case opens fully and will rest on the floor. Case still closes and stays latched.
Tech Notes: Guitar, Hardware, and Electronics were cleaned/tested and are functioning appropriately. Some light fret wear consistent with a used instrument of this condition. Fretboard cleaned and frets polished. Setup with minimal neck relief and medium low action. Plays great throughout the entire neck with consistent intonation. Clearly a players guitar in the past, but with plenty of life left.
MISSING the tremolo bar for the Freeflyte Trem.
Mods or Repairs: None evident.
Pickup markings 1016730 and measured at 5.8k, 5.7k, 7.2k.

Nut Width: 1 3/4"
