This is the to go to Strat. Best all around. Comes in a Fender G&G made in USA HS Case (shown in pictures). The neck is good and straight. The guitar has been professionally set up. Made in 2013. It sounds and plays just right. I liked the green, like some of the Jeff Beck models but, I like the sound of these Texas Specials way better. The back has some color variation from the sun coming through my patio door as it sat in the stand. The camera exaggerated it. Shipping is a total $110 flat fee and limited to the lower 48 states. Sold as is so no returns. This helps to eliminate the scammers.
