Thank you for viewing. Please read this entire text. [Important Notes] I am selling this item to organize equipment (I am also selling many other items, so please take a look at my profile if you'd like). The owner's son is listing and shipping the item on their behalf, but the father did not keep receipts or records from when he purchased it, and some details are unclear. Of course, I have done some research to the best of my ability, but I am also a novice, so there may be incorrect information. Also, due to the above reasons and because the equipment has already been packed, I cannot answer any questions beyond the information listed below. Please understand the above and only purchase if you agree to no claims and no returns. In addition, I will not negotiate prices under any circumstances. Thank you for your understanding. [About this product] This is a 1997 Fender USA Stratocaster. Comes with a hard case (tweed). It is likely the original case. Operation has been confirmed, and it works without problems, but there is occasional crackling.
