I purchased this brand new from Sweetwater when the USA-run of this MIJ Stratocaster was released. It was unboxed on the show but other than light handling offingerprints it for that, it has remained in its case as a collectible.

You’ll find your typical polishing swirls and a few stray fingerprints but overall, very similar to what would arrive had you purchased it new. Plastic is still on the pickguard and back plate.

Includes case and COA. This is serial number 510 which is pretty low for the USA release. I’m not entirely sure, but I believe those started around 500.

Feel free to check out my review and demo of a different one of these (Japan release version) to know what you’re buying! Link in the last photo
