Fender Stratocaster USA 2004 (Road Worn) Complete Overhaul & Upgrade
The guitar was purchased very cheaply because it was in a mess and has had a hard life gigging. Its a real road worn Stratocaster and not a pretend model.
Fretboard was very worn and the frets were in a real state. One good point was someone had installed Seymour Duncan Everything Axe Pickups, which were removed to sell.
Breakdown of project:
- Complete Strip Down.
- Clean and Polish.
- Fretboard Radius changed to 12.

The Stratocaster plays and sounds amazing, it really is such a nice guitar!
