Modern Blues-Rocker Marcus King has used this killer Stratocaster for lives shows for the past few years, and now he's ready to pass it on to its next owner. It plays extremely well and has remarkable character. Rarely do you see the original lacquer on the fingerboard, especially one that has aged in such a cool fashion. The body was previously refinished black with a poly coat, and the bridge pickup was replaced with a Black Bobbin. The volume pot was replaced, the original middle pickup was rewound, and a new bone nut was installed. Scroll down to see Marcus doin' his thing with this very guitar.
