*** UPDATE June 12 2026: I've leveled, crowned, and polished the frets and it plays beautifully now - better than any Fender from the factory. Dream guitar!***
A rare 24-year-old gem with real road-worn character!
Up for sale is a stunning 2002 Fender Standard Stratocaster in the highly sought-after and discontinued Blue Agave (AGV) finish. This color is hard to find on the used market today and shifts beautifully depending on the light.
This guitar arrived at the HITZEN audio workshop in rough shape and has undergone a comprehensive mechanical and cosmetic overhaul. It has earned its patina naturally over nearly a quarter of a century – giving it a genuine, undeniable "Road Worn" vibe that feels and looks way better than any factory relic job, because it actually is real.
The HITZEN audio Overhaul & Setup:
- Deep Clean & Paint Correction: Completely stripped down, hardware de-rusted, and the finish machine-polished to remove surface scratches while preserving the authentic vintage patina.
- Hardware Restoration: All moving parts have been lubricated, made fully functional, and the vintage-style tremolo has been balanced and set up properly.
- Nut & Electronics: The nut was professionally re-seated and glued, and the electronics were cleaned and tested.
- Full Setup: Precision adjustment of string action, neck relief, intonation, and pickup heights for that optimized, balanced "tone flow" we pride ourselves in.
- Fretwork: The frets have been leveled, crowned, and polished meticulously - which makes bending a dream now.
Sound & Playability:
This Strat sounds absolutely phenomenal – it has that classic, woody spank, bell-like chime, and biting bridge position that you want from a great single-coil instrument.
