Unless the listing on the Guitar Center Used Gear site is an outright lie this should be a Fender American (USA) Vintage RI 70's Stratocaster with altered pickups (looks like a Seymour Duncan or Bill Lawrence Rails pickup in the neck position and a Fender or other type Humbucker in the bridge).
I will admit the mismatched pickups make this Strat look UGLY - and brown ain't the prettiest color to start with. But the pickup covers can be easily switched. And brown is very much a legit vintage 70's color for a Stratocaster.
This price was just dropped from $649 to $449. Unless there is something else wrong with it this looks like a good deal.
Guitar Center will box and ship guitars anywhere in the USA for about $20 (I've done it with them before).

USED FENDER AMER STRAT 70'S RI BROWN
called and found out it's probably a Highway 1 (60th anniversary) strat, basically the same guitar as here: http://profile.ultimate-guitar.com/tsk84eva/pictures/gear/21761/
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. I don't see how they could mistake a Highway 1 for a 70's RI? Totally different headstock, Bullet truss rod, 3 bolt neck plate etc. Another typical GC oversight. that said, it is still a good deal een on a Highway 1. I've never seen a brown one. - JC
