1982 Fender USA "Dan Smith" Era Stratocaster (Black)Made in the USA in 1982, this is a great example of "affordable vintage" in the American guitar world. Solid ash body with a glossy black finish, 4 bolt slim profile maple neck with a veneer rosewood fingerboard (42mm nut width), it weighs 4. 3kg's. Seemingly all original including the tremolo arm and hardcase. Given a full professional setup and service prior to listing, has some basic cosmetic wear as pictured but no breaks or repairs. The neck is

Pancake body bolted to a slim 60's profile neck with a 22 fret rosewood fingerboard

Missing the DEPTH knob but still working perfectly

Electronics are a little touchy (like most guitars with onboard amps) but they work as they should

gooey sustain and tone for days that sounds good no matter how you set the knobs

Wearing a metallic Lake Placid Blue that's not commonly seen on these

Factory loaded with Tokai hardware and a pair of PAF-Vintake MK-1 humbuckers

Good vintage condition as pictured with a few cosmetic bumps and dings

He's got a style that lands somewhere in the shared middle ground between heavy metal

Aged white finish with a tape/spray-can tiger aesthetic and a banana headstock on the maple neck along with a 22 fret maple fingerboard (648mm scale length)
