This 2005 Fender 50th Anniversary American Deluxe Stratocaster was stashed by the original owner when it was purchased new. 

It was played just a few times, as you can see in the pics.  It was traded in towards a Martin guitar that better fit the needs of the gentleman who traded it in.

This is a really nice example that weighs less than most at just 8 pounds, 1 ounce.  Most are closer to the mid 8 pound range or more, and most listings you see won't list the weight.

The entire guitar was verified during our intake process, which includes a check of the truss rod to make sure there is room for future neck relief adjustments.  We set the guitar up to proper spec with a new set of nickel D'Addario, 10-46.  It plays perfectly with no issues whatsoever.

The original case is included, with all the original paperwork therein.
