Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent Condition
It doesn't get much better than this! The '56 reissue means you have all the original Fender specs you know and love with some modern considerations. The compound fretboard radius ensures maximum comfort when you're strumming open chords or ripping through some screaming solos. Everyone needs a Strat in their arsenal and the Journeyman is sure to satisfy for a lifetime!
SP Luthier Notes: A majority of frets showed evidence of play wear. As such, the frets were leveled, recrowned, and polished back to a near mint state. The guitar required an adjustment to the truss rod, nut, and bridge to be brought to a perfect level of playability. A number of frets had become raised above the fingerboard and partially out of their fret slots which necessitated gluing and reseating said frets into the fingerboard. The stock tuners of the guitar stopped functioning properly and have been replaced with new Fender tuners. No further work was required.
