3. While I will sell this guitar to an individual outside the continental United States, be warned that the shipping will be EXPENSIVE: think $200 or more.

International shipping will be made within 3 business days after confirmed payment is received.
4. Please feel free to any question. I am not the first owner, I sell it in the same condition as when I bought it. I am not a Fender expert and cannot guarantee it's all original (refinished, refretted, rewired, replaced parts, modified, etc), please make sure that you have DOWNLOAD all the high resolution pics that I included here... and make sure that you have VERIFY EVERY PART of this guitar BEFORE you send any payment! Dont trust other sellers who stated their guitar is all original, you will need to verify the originality yourself! (thats why I provided you a lot of hi-res pics). Since this is "VINTAGE" guitar, I can't guarantee if everything is working perfectly (screws, potensios, knobs, saddles, tremolo arm, output jack, trussrod, pickups, etc). Please be aware that you're buying a vintage guitar, it can't be 100% perfect! You're not buying a new guitar. I did plugged the guitar into my amp and all pickups are working.. it sounds great!. You may need to find a guitar luthier to fix it. I SELL THIS AS IS, WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO RETURNS. IF YOU DO NOT WANT (OR NOT SURE WITH) THE ITEM, DO NOT SEND PAYMENT. I sell a lot of vintage guitars on EvilBay, please read my EvilBay Feedback. My EvilBay ID is: stratofinder & strathunter and read what my customer said.

Thanks
