Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Good (finish on the back is mottled from the case / small indentation in the finish on the bottom, pictured)
After years of pickup, bridge, neck, and electronics swaps and on-the-road refinement, Fender sat down with David Gilmour's guitar tech and put together the final word on "The Black Strat". Fitted with three custom pickups including Duncan's well-known SSL-1 and a mini-toggle to add the neck pickup to expand your tonal palette this isn't just a showpiece! Whether you're jamming along to Dark Side or you just want a great, versatile stratocaster for everything under the sun. This could be the one.
