Pre Loved Fender Mexican Standard Stratocaster in Black

This pre loved Fender Mexican Standard Stratocaster made in 2000 (often called MIM Standard Strat) is a classic, mid-priced Strat designed to deliver traditional Fender style and tone with solid build quality. It is in good condition with the usual wear that one would expect of a guitar this age. It has some tarnishing to the hardware, some fading to the scratch plate and still has the protective film on the guitars back plate. It is also missing the trem arm.
