This is a MIM 2006 Fender Stratocaster not a squire or Epiphone. It now possesses all USA PARTS and then some. It now has 2 retro 60s coils and a Seymour Duncan Pearly gates Humbucker ! Man can this guitar scream it is set up for rock and metal but you can do blues all day long . It also has CTS pots and Oak Griggs 5 way switch. This is a great guitar for pros as well as beginners it's set up with New D'Addario nickel 10/42 and you can bend these babies all night! The guitar was custom finished at some point but shows a bit of ware as it has played rock venues all across the country for years . And now it's time for some new instruments. This baby has years left on her and needs a good home she likes to be played! Give me a jingle and you will take her home if you play her. She sounds better than any of our Gibson's or American strats! Hey thanks for looking! Be gentle with your offers as she's in no hurry! Does not include case. Can add nice case for 60.00. Thanks again Bob
