Fender American Series VG Stratocaster, 2007–2009, Black. This instrument plays reliably as a standard electric guitar with full functionality. The onboard effects and battery-operated mechanisms require service and are not currently operational. Ideal for players seeking a quality Fender body and neck at a reduced price point, with the understanding that electronics restoration may be needed. Excellent foundation for a restoration project or immediate use as a traditional Stratocaster.
