Up for sale, a 2018 Fender Parallel Universe Limited Edition Whiteguard Stratocaster in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the CoA and hangtags, as well as a ‘50s-style premium Fender “poodle” hardshell case. Designed to combine the “biting twang of a Tele with the sleek, ergonomic contours of a Strat,” this discontinued limited run model delivers on its goals with a nitro lacquer Vintage Blonde finish and Fender Custom Shop ‘51 Nocaster pickups.
Tonewoods include an ash body and one-piece maple neck, offering an authoritative and complex natural acoustic profile faithfully translated by the ‘51 Nocaster pickups. The pickups deliver a traditional Tele tonal profile with plenty of chewy twang and sparkling cut. The bridge pickup has more aggressive bite while the neck has a sweeter, bell-like character. This guitar weighs 7lbs 8oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
