Empire Guitars 1986 Fender AVRI ’57 Stratocaster

Summary:
This American Vintage Reissue ’57 Stratocaster is in great used
condition, is all original and has just been setup and restrung by
our in-house guitar tech with low action and a new set of 10s. There
is a little bit of wear through the fingerboard finish, some pick
scratches on the top, and few dings on the body but it sounds great
and looks like a vintage Stratocaster with its single ply pickguard
and 2 tone sunburst finish. It ships in its original tweed case with
case candy.

Body:
Solid double cutaway with 2 tone sunburst and single ply white
guard.

Neck:
The maple neck has a C profile, black dots, vintage 7.25 radius,
end-of-heel truss rod adjustment, safety post tuners, 25.5” scale
length and 1 5/8” nut width.

Pickups/Hardware:
It has 3 original single coil strat pickups, 3 way switch,
volume, 2 tones, white knobs, single ply pickguard, nickel hardware,
safety post tuners, synchronized trem bridge with 6 individual bent
steel saddles.

Cosmetics:
This Stratocaster is in fine shape for its age and even though it
was played quite a bit, it was clearly well kept and never abused.
There are some pick scratches on the pickguard, some scuffs and dings
on the body, a bit of buckle rash on the back, some wear through the
finish on the fingerboard and some fretwear.

Playability:
Our in-house guitar tech has just inspected, setup and restrung
this guitar with a new set of 10s. The neck is straight, the truss
rod is fully functioning and the action has been setup low and
comfortable. The frets have some wear from use, especially on the
first few but it still plays beautifully up and down the fingerboard
with no dead spots or choking out.

Modifications:
n/a

Weight:
7 lbs, 10 oz.

Case:
This Fender comes with the original tweed hardshell case with
all the case candy including a strap, 5 way switch and cable. We
will ship it professionally packed and fully insured!
