1999 Fender Mexico Stratocaster w/Robert Cray Pickups Electric Guitar


A classy looker, huh? I'm pretty sure it's got a "midnight blue metallic" finish where the color is a bit of a deep, deep cobalt that's almost a little purple when the light catches it. That, mixed with the mint pickguard and maple neck, gives an unusual look that's different from a lot of what's on offer at the moment.

So, yes, it's a late-'90s Mexican Strat -- it's solidly-built, has a nice, medium-heft neck profile, and sounds good, too. The owner is pretty sure (and I concur) that this has Robert Cray pickups installed, judging by the looks and polepiece stagger. He also did a nice level/dress job on the frets before dropping it off so all I had to do was give it a good setup before hanging it in the shop for sale.

And, yes, it sounds like a Strat. The ducky in-between positions are especially ducky and in-between. If you like the strummy sound of a Strat in "4," this will suit you just fine.

Repairs included: a setup (frets are in good order due to a previous level/dress job).
