Fender Stratocaster '54 reissue CIJ

All black, 1998 Crafted in Japan Fender Stratocaster '54 reissue.

Possibly the most comfortable neck profile I ever played! I think it is called a soft V.
The pups aren't original but I believe everything else in this guitar is. Currently it has a set of Fender Vintage Noiseless Pickups.

Condition:

  • Functional: 10/10
  • Visual: 6/10
    • It's completely black and has some scratches and dents along the edges of the body. It doesn't look bad and from a few paces you couldn't say it isn't pristine, but from close enough or with lights shining on it (like the flash from the pictures), things look, well, like the pictures :)

Alhambra 1C

This item has been stolen from me! Let me know if you see something alike being sold.

Made in Spain, Cedar top version, with a Belcat EQ-7545R preamp installed. Needs a little TLC to get the action a little lower but sounds amazing, wonderful presence.

Condition:
Functional: 9/10
The action is too high for my taste, will likely need to have the bridge lowered.
Visual: 8/10
It's not new, but doesn't have any obvious damage bar a really small dent on the side of the headstock, and would likely pass as new with a good polish.

Washburn KC-40V

Yellow, early Chicago series, 600S Floyd Rose tremolo.

Body: Alder
Neck: Maple, bolt-on
Fingerboard: Rosewood, 22-fret, pearl dot inlays

Condition:

  • Functional: 6/10
    • Pots are noisy, needs an overall setup too
  • Visual: 8/10
    • If you don't look too close, it is near mint. There are a few nicks that got fixed, so in detailed inspection it is still very good but obviously well used.
