Cream colored semi opaque urethane finish, no significant scratches or fretwear. Has wiring similar to a Stratocaster that gives a slightly out of phase tone in the middle position. Vintage style brass bridge saddles. Comes complete with heavy duty Fender molded road case suitable for bus or airplane travel. This guitar is in fantastic condition and shows little use. I mostly use a Stratocaster and keep this only for the occasional session when I need a bit of Tele twang.
