2008 Fender USA Stratocaster Electric Guitar w/Duesenberg Multibender

Heck yes! This is a consignor's '08 USA Strat in classic sunburst. On its own, it sounds and plays just as well as you'd expect -- it's an American Strat, of course. The owner added a Duesenberg Multibender, however, which replaces the original whammy bridge and gives you two "palm pedal" benders for the G&B strings. I've set these up to do a 1/2-step bend on the B and a full bend on the G in the past for folks who play in open G tuning, but currently it's setup for full-step bends on both which is more useful in standard tuning. In the video, you can tell I'm terrible at it, but you get the idea!

All I had to do was give it a glorified setup and adjust the bender a bit. These Multibenders are a bit hard to find these days and are certainly a good chunk of change on their own.

The owner fit a replacement pickguard/backplate to the guitar -- '50s-style single-ply -- and the original pickguard and associated bits are in the case awaiting the next owner. If you have a particular pickguard style you like, I've recently been gifted a ton of random Strat pickguards, so you might want to ask just in case I have one here to swap-out on the house!

Condition notes: it's lightly-used with mild wear and tear (scratching) to the finish on the body but it's hard to see any of it. The pickguard shows a bit of playwear, too. Clearly, it's been modded to fit the Duesenberg unit -- so there's an extra screwhole in the top at the tail-end of it. The frets have mild pitting in first position but it wasn't enough to warrant a fret level/dress. I can do one before it ships/sells if desired, though, but it's very light. Note that in some photos the wood looks darker on one of the center laminations of alder -- it's just one of those "3d reflection" things -- I took another shot at a different lighting angle so you can see it doesn't actually look weird.

It comes with: an original molded hard case with goodies -- the original bridge/whammy and original plastic bits -- pickguard/etc...
