Rare! Fender USA 50th Anniversary Stratocaster Flame Maple Top for Lefty Fender USA Stratocaster, Limited to 250 Worldwide / Serial Number 216, Left-Handed Thank you for viewing. I will sell it to someone who will cherish it. I own several US Stratocasters, but I think this Stratocaster is the best. In 1996, I entered a music store in Germany without intending to buy anything, but I decided to buy it immediately the moment I played it. The strings resonate and ring throughout the guitar, from the headstock to the body, and the sound is clear. The flame maple and the vertical grain of the fingerboard are beautiful. It was priced higher than the vintage series at the time, and the neck shape is sharper than a standard American Standard, and the fingerboard radius is slightly looser, making it easier to play. This Stratocaster was made to commemorate Fender's 50th anniversary, with only 250 left-handed models produced worldwide. While there are many Stratocasters commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Stratocaster (2004), the Fender 50th anniversary (1996) had a limited production run, and it is rarely seen in the used market both domestically and internationally. Condition: Used (Two spots of lacquer paint peeling on the back of the neck) Production: Serial number 216 of 250 worldwide (stamped on the neck plate) Neck: Good condition (straight since purchase) Truss Rod: Plenty of room Frets: 70-90% remaining (no buzzing or dead spots) I recommend replacing with stainless steel frets when worn. String Height: 6th string: 2.0mm, 1st string: 2.0mm Tuning: Half-step down Modifications: The wiring prioritizes sound clarity, and the two tone controls are dummies.
