This guitar was bought new by its one owner in 2020, and has never left the house. It presents as new in every way – no marks, dings, dents, modifications, and no issues.
It is a striking looking guitar, presenting in the new Fender colour of “Penny”- a kind of copper bronze metallic that really draws the eye. Quite a stunner with sound to match.
This American Performer Stratocaster is well thought out, with some nice new features that Fender has clearly brought to the table in order to seduce more players into the appealing world of US made Stratocasters.
It is super comfortable to hold sitting down or standing up, tonally responsive, and plays cleanly up and down the neck. It is in perfect, as new condition and represents a nice saving on new price.
Comes in its Fender gig bag in new condition.
