Up for sale is my Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster in Faded Cherry burst with a replacement pick guard loaded with Kinman AVn series noiseless pickups and new controls. Price also includes hard case and the original pick guard which contains the standard controls and the Fender N3 pickups that were originally on the guitar. It’s a simple job to swap back to the original - just two wires to connect.

I bought this new from Coda Music in 2013. It’s a beautiful guitar and has the compound radius neck which is a joy to play. It also comes with locking tuners (labelled as Fender but they look very much like Gotohs), a good quality hard case, all the usual case candy (lead, Allen keys, setup manual, etc) and the aforementioned N3 pickups.

I found the N3s to be a little lacking in “character” (whatever that is!) and so I built up a new (white) pickguard with the Kinman AVn noiseless pickups. I really like these as they give the guitar a real “bite”, particularly on the bridge pickup. More information about the Kinman pickups can be found here; https://www.mobile.kinman.com/products/stratocaster-pickups.php. As mentioned above, I’ll include the original “parchment” ‘guard and pickups in the price so the guitar can be put back to original spec if required.

The guitar is immaculate with no marks, scratches or dings that I can see. The rear plate still has the factory plastic wrap on it.There are a couple of small marks on the case (see pics).

I’d prefer a direct sale but if you have a trade let me know. There’s nothing I’m really looking for so I’ll probably decline but you never know....

I’d prefer not to ship this if possible and would rather hand over the guitar in person. PM me with your location and let’s discuss options. In any event, I would only consider shipping within the UK to long-standing forum (here or Basschat) members with positive feedback.

Please PM me with any questions.
