2007 Fender (Mexico) Stratocaster Electric Guitar
Here's a local-yokel Mexican Strat that's been kicking-around the area for a while. It's still in good shape, though, and has now made its way here for consignment. If you know Mexican Strats, then you know Mexican Strats. This guy handles beautifully, feels great, sounds classic, and has a really pretty deep metallic blue finish called "Electron Blue." I like.
It's missing its whammy bar though I've set it up to pitch down easily if desired when or if you find a replacement. Everything is original to the instrument and it hasn't been cut-up, modded, or mucked-with. What would I do, though? Oh, the first thing to change would be to put a mint green pickguard on this sucker. Or... if you're a prima-primo-primordial... donna...! ...perhaps red tortoise or gold? White is nice, though, too, I suppose.
I've given it a fresh going-over and it's ready to go and playing fast. I really appreciate the more vintage-spec neck feel as I'm big into late-'60s Fender Strat feel. The neck is slightly slimmer (front-to-back) compared to most of those but very similar, with a steep vintage radius, 1 5/8" nut, and roundish back profile.

Condition notes: it's fairly clean but does show light scuffing, scratching, and usewear here and there on the body. There's nothing obvious, though. It's missing its whammy bar but is otherwise all there.
