Commonly referred to as the two-knobber Strat, this specific model represents a redesign by Dan Smith to rescue Fenders reputation during the final years of CBS ownership. The soft V profile of the neck allows for effortless playing up and down the fretboard. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSound: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe 1983 Fender Dan Smith Stratocaster is highly regarded for delivering crystalline, glassy, and articulate tone that successfully revived Fender's Golden Era Standards after the quality control dips of the late 70's CBS years. The Fullerton Single Coil pickups that are fitted are known for excellent clarity, note definition and a brilliant top end chime. Clean settings through a tube amplifier yield a glistening open sound. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCosmetic\u003c\/strong\u003e: There are some clear marks and aging to this guitar, but considering it is from 1983 and over 40 years old, it is in fantastic condition. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eElectronics\u003c\/b\u003e: All working perfectly as tested by our in store engineers on arrival into store. \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCondition Rating\u003c\/b\u003e: 3\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIt is important to note that all guitars we take in at The Music Bank are serviced and restrung (if necessary) on arrival into store. \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePre-Owned Condition Rating Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRating Score\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e-\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExcellent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- Item is in 'as new' condition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRating Score\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e2\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#80ff00\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVery Good\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e - Item will show signs of light use\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRating Score\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e3\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e - Item will show signs of use including light marks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRating Score\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e4\u003c\/b\u003e- \u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#80ff00\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAverage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e - Item will show signs of heavy use, dents\/chips \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRating Score\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e5\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot Working\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e - Item is sold for parts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout The Music Bank\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLocated in the heart of Knaresborough on the busy High Street, the Grade II, former Barclays Bank is where we call home!
