This is a nearly new MIM limited edition Fender Strat. It has a 1 peice maple neck with skunk stripe and a 60th anniversary round plate with a diamond print on the headstock. This was a limited edition and 250 were made for Musician's Friend. The pickups are different than standard strat pickups and are midrangey and more like a tele or P90 in sound. It's a great playing and sounding guitar and I don't particularly want to let go of it, but I want something else more than this strat. Pickup covers and all non-metal hardware are "aged parchment" in color. All else is chrome. It plays and sounds great. The neck pickup is a tad dark for my taste. Very ballsy.
Here's one review of this model on Harmony Central.

The paint was cracked upon delivery on the body as pictured. No damage to the shipping box that I can see. The crack is in the middle of the picture and is shaped like a handlebar moustache. The crack is located below the input jack. Everything else is flawless IIRC.
Make me a serious offer and I'll let go of it. I won't sell it for less than the purchase price. If I can't make money off this guitar, I won't part with it. You aren't going to find this guitar anywhere else due to the limited production.
