[size=4][font=Helvetica]Bought new from Soho Soundhouse. A few minor dings as per the photos, never really used in anger. Classic Fender Japan quality.[/font]

[font=Helvetica]*** the tone control has a centre detent position, and a bit of research leads me to believe this is a TBX tone control: [url="http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/The_Fender_TBX_Tone_Control_Part_1"]http://www.premiergu..._Control_Part_1[/url].[/font]

[font=Helvetica]After deciding that superlight strings and epic dives were not for me, it’s currently strung with 10s and I added an extra spring at the back.[/font]

[font=Helvetica]Comes with a generic hard case.[/font][/size]

[font=Helvetica][size=2][size=4]I’d much prefer to avoid couriers: I’m in Bromley (SE London/Kent), work in Central London (Chancery Lane), and am a regular visitor to Tonbridge, Kent, so would ideally meet a buyer in or near one of those places.[/size][/size][/font]

Nice:)

I have had two of the Contemporary Strats before there are great guitars. This one looks a steal.

[leschirons]

Any trade options? or is this a straight sale?

Hm... just thinking of a sale at the moment. I [i]might[/i] be interested in a fretless 5-string.

And thanks to Gadgie and Kempy for the appreciative comments!

Bastille Day bump.

Back-to-school bump.

[ras52]

Payday-just-around-the-corner bump...

And it's gone.
