Fender ‘96 MIM Stratocaster

Details

Fender ‘96 MIM Stratocaster

This was my first “real” guitar purchased in 1996. It is a 1996 Mexican made Stratocaster originally equipped with with a humbucker in the bridge and a coil splitter switch. It’s a bit too heavy, not incredibly resonant, but a suitable backup.
