Brief & Accurate Description of gear/guitar: Black
American Deluxe strat, I believe it is a 2002, I bought it in 03. It was my first good guitar so it is hard to part with it. I need the money as backup for college and I am still trying to sell some of my stuff for g-major 2.
Rosewood fretboard, chrome hardware and aged pickguard with creme pickups and knobs (looks sweet). With Abalone inlay, 22 frets, and noiseless pickups. (singles).
Sweet feature is under the pickgaurd is an HSH route so you can have nearly any pickup combo you want depending on pickgaurd.
There are some dings on the headstock from use but they aren't bad.
There are a few dings on the body, there is one under the tremolo from a stupid tech putting 6 springs in the thing with 11 gauge strings and it made the trem press too hard against the body.
Also the tech put 2 dings on the bottom right and left of the body. There is one small ding at the bottom that I accidentally put in it but it isn't as big as the ones the tech gave it. The ones the tech did look more like paint cracks though.
Since I've had it it has had a little spot where the bubinga meets the maple and it feels like a little bump.
Also there are some scratches and swirling on the back from rubbing up against clothes and stands and I think that one bad tech did some of them too. All of them I believe can be buffed out with not too much effort. Also the backplate has a cracked side from the tech screwing down the screw too tight on it...
There may be some of the pickgaurd plastic under the knobs still, I haven't taken my knobs off before.
No s-1 switch, that was on later models.
The little dings are hard to describe so I will try and get the best pictures that I can.
Modifications (if any): Strap locks but I have both original and strap locks. I put some graphite from a pencil in the grooves of the nut to keep it in tune.
Accessories (hardshell case etc): Hardshell case (some scuffs), trem bar, the tags and books and may have the
fender strap it came with.
Location (City,State or City,Country): Naples, Fl (moving to Orlando on the 21st, go University of Central Fl!)

Price (include currency and if firm/obo): $900 USD obo + shipping
Please make offers, but I would like to keep it near 900, it is really hard to part with this thing, it is priceless to me. If I were to consider a trade it would be for a Tc electronic G-system or G-force but the money is more needed just as a saftey net for any hidden college fees
Pictures: Tomorrow morning it should be sunny and not rainy so I'll get some then.
Any questions please ask
