JAPAN IMPORT
The 2020 Collection Traditional II Series 70's Stratocaster was originally produced for the Japanese market only but a few have found themselves available in the UK via import like this one. The main difference from the original "traditional series" is that they have a more modern 9.5" fretboard radius. This particular instrument was graded as "A" by my supplier in Japan & is all but a new guitar with just some light playing marks on the scratchplate. Closer inspection shows that it actually still has the factory film protective covering. It truly is in superb condition.

Hard Case
As said many times, all my guitars come shipped in a new black hard case which is included in the price. I find this is the safest way to avoid damage in transit. Alternatively, if you are collecting the guitar and, like some buyers have cases coming out of their ears, that's no problem, I'll adjust the price (usually around a £50 discount) and I can usually find you an old gigbag to take the guitar away in. The only hard and fast rule I have is that I won't ship a guitar in a gigbag
If you are further interested in this guitar, you can either email me with any queries & I'll do my best to get back to you within 24 hours.
Or, you can buy quickly and safely using the PayPal "buy now" button and I will ship to most UK addresses the next working day. Highlands and Islands can be slightly dearer but I'll keep the cost as low as I can.
I can accept credit card payments by phone and will also offer a small discount to purchasers using bank transfer payments.
Overseas customers are very welcome but please email me first for shipping quotes.
