Fender Strat Plus for sale! 

I'm selling this gorgeous Fender Strat plus from 1995 in rare metallic silver burst. Maple neck, locking tuners, Gold lace sensor pick ups which sounds crystal clear. Mid boost on the bridge tone control. In fantastic condition. The neck has playing ware on the edges - some of the finish has worn away, but it is 21 years old and not unusual on maple necks. Includes hard original hard case which is missing a couple of the locks. I've seen a lot of these going for £1200, but I'm getting married in just over a week so I need a quick sale! Get in contact if interested. www.martinmickels.com 07799150693
