Cruznolfart Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 From a frustrated CL shopper: MINT Stratocaster. I know it is only a fender, but the Squire designation give it Class! I've only played it a few times, and loaned it out many times, but it is MINT! There is some rust on the springs on the bridge...You can't really see the crack in the pickguard(although the super-glue is visible), Peanut butter sticky fingers has very slightly discolored the back of the neck, but the finish is coming off anyway so no biggie, the frets are worn slightly, probably from where they rubbed against the luggage rack when I travelled with it, One knob is missing, but the post is loose enough that it turns just as easily, the input jack is a little loose, so the guitar cable makes it crackle and pop a bit when plugged in, The D string keeps breaking, but this string isn't needed on every chord anyway, and finally, there is a slight flat spot on the body where the strap button fell out, allowing the guitar to hit the floor, made a cool sound, but left a flat spot. Can't hardly see it. Like I said...MINT. This is a STEAL. You could buy a new one for less, but this one has character...and is...like I say...MINT! Sorry, no pic of the actual guitar, but this one is similar, not the same color or model, but it is a guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bill Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I'm curious, what are they asking for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruznolfart Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 I chuckled a little. The guy was responding to a repeatedly placed ad for a "mint" Esq. Strat. that was "lightly used". Now the original ad has been pulled. Thank the stars for the CL police! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your offer sounds like a fair trade for this fine instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyK Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 If it's got a crack, scratch, scuff, cigarette burn, smells of cigarette smoke, whiskey, tarnished strings, dents, dings or evulsions, it ain't mint. Or if it's been played outside the original store's show room, it ain't mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
