Seller's description

A 1956 Stratocaster NOS built in 2012 has arrived! Featuring an alder body and a one-piece maple neck, this guitar adheres to vintage specifications with a soft V-shape profile that offers just the right amount of grip and a 7.25-inch radius. Although the pickups lack any engravings or signatures, making their model numbers unknown, there are no signs that they have been replaced; this guitar is equipped with original Custom Shop pickups. * Measured resistance: Neck approx. 6.28k / Middle approx. 6.04k / Bridge approx. 6.33k Based on the resistance values and the characteristics of the lead wires, these are believed to be 50s-style, vintage-like pickups. While they offer a clear, vintage-like tone, they are characterized by a thick, full-bodied sound with a resilient midrange. Overall, there are signs of wear, including scratches, dents, buckle marks, a slightly lifted pickguard, and rust on the screws. The neck is in good condition; while the remaining fret depth is about 60–70%, it is still within a playable range. Although it shows signs of use, this is a well-played instrument. It is still in playable "player’s condition"! Condition Rating: B+: Some scratches, but no issues for normal use Serial Number: R68147 Year of Manufacture: 2012 Country of Manufacture: USA Case: Hard Case Accessories: Certificate of Authenticity, arm, bridge cover, springs, manuals, strap, cable, cleaning cloth, case key Weight: 3.51 kg Truss Rod: No issues; checked up to 60 degrees to the left and right with no problems Remaining Fret Wear: Within normal range; fret height is sufficient for playing String Height (Low String Side): 2.0 mm at the 12th fret String height (treble side): 1.5 mm at the 12th fret Nut width: 42.0 mm Neck thickness near the 1st fret: 22.8 mm Neck thickness near the 12th fret: 25.6 mm Scale: 648 mm (25.5") RADIUS: 184 mm (7.25") Strings at setup: ERNIE BALL 2221 / .010-.046 set Modifications: Strap pins Repairs and Maintenance: Cleaning,
