Fender Crafted in Japan Stratocaster. Made in 1997-98 at the Fuji-gen plant. It is in excellent condition with just one minor ding to the back just above the strap button on the bottom edge (see photo). It plays well and sounds great. Yours for £450.
Pick up only, or I can deliver in the Greater Manchester / north Cheshire area. Willing to travel a bit to help a sale. I'm sorry but I don't have a case / box for it, so trusting it to a courier is not something I want to risk.

I've been going insane watching this on eBay and Gumtree wondering If there was a way of taking it off your hands. It's real beauty but I'm way down south London town.

This might be nitpicking but this might actually be made in the Tokai factory under a Fender Japan/Tokai Dyna Gakki joint venture 1997 ending 2015.

Hi Crumble, thanks for the info. Can you tell me where you sourced it? I just used the www.guitardaterproject.org website and got Fuji-gen.
It's a shame you're in London. I do get down there with work sometimes but nothing planned soon, sorry. If you have a hard case you could send via courier then I can send it back with the guitar? I'll absorb the shipping for my leg of the journey.

I sourced the Tokai connection HERE Although like most things to do with Japanese guitars the details are a little blurry. Thanks for the offer it is a peach of a guitar but my attention has now turned to an American Series. Good luck with your sale.

Sorry for intruding upon your conversation, but if it's just a question of getting the guitar safely from Manchester to London why don't Crumble just pick and chose from the gazillions of reasonably priced cases, have it shipped to GangsterNo1, and GangsterNo1 ships the guitar in that case + the cardboard box the case was shipped in?
That's only if you're comfortable with shipping the guitar at all, and with buying a guitar you haven't played before, of course. But you'll want a case for the guitar, anyway.
Just in case nobody thought of it already.
