This is a component guitar assembled from parts collected from various sites. The body is of an unknown brand, but the routing is not the common cheap "bento box" type; it's a carefully done HSH configuration. The body is relatively clean with no major scratches. The neck is also of an unknown brand. Although difficult to see in the images, it has a strong tiger stripe pattern, and the frets have about 70% life remaining. The fretboard is also free of scratches and easy to play. The truss rod still has plenty of room for adjustment. Honestly, I personally think the neck alone is worth buying; it's that solid. Although the manufacturers are different, the body and neck fit together perfectly, so rest assured. As for the other parts, the tuners, bridge, and pickup assembly are from a Squier Affinity, I believe. This is based on my memory from a few years ago, so I apologize if I'm mistaken. There is no crackling in the volume and tone controls. There is a slight crackling sound when switching the selector switch. A 2mm FREEDOM CUSTOM GUITAR RESEARCH neck plate is used, which compensates for the lack of low-end frequencies often found in Stratocasters. As accessories, I'm including a Fender strap that has hardly been used and a sturdy Bacchus fabric case. Before listing, I adjusted the string height, intonation, and cleaned the guitar. The strings were just changed. I will be somewhat busy during the New Year's holiday, so I may not be able to ship within 24 hours. I believe the build quality is better than the typical beginner's guitar, so it's a good guitar to play as is or to use as a base for modifications. If it doesn't sell at this price, I will gradually lower the price, and if it still doesn't sell at the lowest price, I will remove the listing, so please be aware of that. I am also listing this on another site, and I will remove the listing if a sale is made there.
