Though refinished, this Lake Placid Blue Strat looks absolutely fantastic. Even better, it sounds and plays exceptionally well. Featuring a classic oval neck profile and the original fingerboard with plenty of life left in the original frets, it’s an absolute joy to have in hand.
Tonally, the original pickups deliver clear, dynamic Strat tones throughout. The neck pickup is warm and round, the bridge has the perfect amount of bite, and the middle position offers that unmistakable classic Strat midrange character.
The refinished body remains in great condition with very little visible wear, while the neck shows honest aging that gives it a nicely matured, comfortable feel without being overly worn.
Includes the original hardshell case (OHSC).
