SurroundedByManatees Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) Fender Lead ll 1980 Great playing and sounding vintage Fender Lead ll, so not a reissue!! The guitar appears to be all original, with grey bottom pickups dating to 1980. Finish has gone bad with a lot of cracking, as is often the case with Fenders of this era. This is due to a bad type of paint being used. Also there is a lot of discoloration on the front, which actually looks like a nice Cherry Burst :). There are 2 extra holes in the pickguard. Technically the lead is in decent condition. All electronics and hardware work like they should. The neck is straight and adjustable. The frets show wear, but it doesn't hurt playability. Overall some surface cleaning and new strings would be a good thing to do as it's a bit dusty. This is a very well playing guitar with a really great Fender sound on board. The neck has a very comfortable feel to it. THe original tolex hardcase is included. These are pretty rare by themselves. I think they are the same cases as used for mustangs, but with an extra padded block added. The case is in reasonable condition, with one latch missing. Asking €1.250 I am located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship at buyers risk. Edited March 10, 2022 by SurroundedByManatees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
