Up for grabs is my 94 MIM 54 Deluxe R.I. & Graphic Hardcase. This is by far the best playing & sounding Strat that I've ever owned including my USA Standards! The action is very low & there's absolutely no fret buzz or string rattle. Just lots of Straty goodness, LOL!!!

It's got a set of Duncan Texas Antiquity's in it & a Jeff Beck harness (both tones work for all 3 pickups) built on top of a Aluminum grounding plate. The harness was built by Madison's Music in Detroit out of top of the line components including PIO capacitors!
The guitar has a very nice & mostly natural light relic look to it. The only thing that's been forced to look older than it actually was is the plastics (switch tip, knobs, Ect.) The guitar has 50's style tuners, a chunky C profile neck with almost satin finish, and aside from one tiny little ding it's in perfect condition! It will ship in a very nice and very secure hard case complete with a built in tuner. Just the case itself is a $200 value & let's face it, MIM's were just made better back then? Between the Graphics Hardcase, Seymour Duncan Antiquity pickups, & beautiful sounding harness you'd essentially be getting the guitar for free!!!
This Strat body is a real 50's style body and it's routed for 3 singles, so no humbucker or swimming pool routes. Personally I think this adds a little something to the tone, I find that the modern style swimming pool routes, while useful, give the guitar a more hollow sound? This thing has all the feel & mojo of a real Antique Strat, because it basically is a real antique Strat??? Well I guess at 23 years old it isn't quite a antique yet but not very far off? I've owned it since the beginning of 98 & it was a NOS item when I purchased it. I don't remember exactly what I spent on it but I do know that they were more costly than the other MIM's of the time. Just an awesome, awesome, guitar at an amazing price & a bit of a collectible one as well!!!
$400.00 SHIPPED, P.P. Gift or add 3.5% for fees.
Price is firm and I'm not really looking for any trades right now, although I'd probably consider trading it for the right amplifier? Please feel free to ask me anything about it that you'd like to know & there will be more pictures to follow....
