This 1992 U.S.A. Fender Stratocaster was purchased at a garage sale in Salt Lake City, Utah for $400.00.

When I saw this white guitar, I had to play it.



This white Stratocaster has a Fender/ Wilkinson roller nut, a rosewood fingerboard, unused jumbo frets that do not buzz, three Fender-Lace Sensor single coil pickups, and the original bridge. It also came with a black Fender hard shell case and a brand-new smell.

Once I had this nicely balanced guitar in my hands, I knew I had to have it.



I am use to a Floyd Rose bridge and nut that keeps a guitar in tune no matter how intensely it is violated.

The only disadvantage I can see with the original Fender bridge on this Stratocaster is that it is somewhat stiff and prone, when used intensely, to knocking the guitar out of tune. I believe this bridge problem is correctable with a little custom fine tuning which I have not yet mastered.

The body is in wonderful like-new condition, and the neck is fast with low to moderate action. The electronics are in fine working condition with no "pod creakling" what so ever.

I would truly recommend Fender Stratocasters. The tone is amazing, and the craftsmanship is outstanding! Plug it in, and you are ready to go.
