Condition

This Strat Plus is in very good vintage condition for its age. Expect minor play wear, light surface marks, and normal cosmetic signs of use from a 37-year-old instrument. Frets are in great shape, neck is straight, and it plays cleanly with low action. Electronics function exactly as they should.

Why You’ll Love It

The late-80s Strat Plus models are known for their smooth playability, rock-solid tuning stability, and the signature Lace Sensor tone—bright, quiet, and expressive. This one is a fantastic blend of collectibility and performance.
