Item # 30 2006 White Fender Stratocaster

Donated by Chris Green

This guitar has been used very little since I bought it. It was originally meant to be a guitar that I would switch out electronics and wiring on with different stuff that fit what I do more, but I never quite got to it. It has mostly either sat in studio or has been in the hands of a classical singer with the Spokane symphony who used it for a short time to teach her guitar until we got her something different. High quality instrument fit for everything from a beginner looking to start out all the way up to a performing musician in studio or on stage. The combination of the humbucker bridge pickup and single coil middle and neck pickups mean this guitar is capable of going from the most crystal cleans to more heavy and overdriven rock and even metal sounds.  Donor prefers item be picked up at convention.

Body: Alder
Neck: Maple
Number of frets: 21 Medium frets
Pickups: Fender pickups. One humbucker in bridge position. Two single coils in middle and neck
Controls: One volume. Two tone. One blade switch
Bridge: standard 6-screw vintage-style tremolo
Finish: Arctic white with matching pick guard
Tuners: Fender standard tuners
