Dear EF'ers,
Due to my imminent move abroad, I have to sell my electric guitar which is in like new condition (maybe even better than new after string replacement and adjustments).

I bought this guitar in Summer 2013 as I wanted to get into playing lead guitar, but unfortunately for me (and fortunately for its next owner) I did not get to play it much, as I was generally too busy during my PhD to practice. The sound is outstanding for an instrument in this price range, and the Arctic White finish looks beautiful.
The guitar is as good as new – no bumps, chips or scratches. The only detail is some barely noticeable discoloration on the back of the neck (caused by contact with the guitar stand, I presume).
The amp is a modelling amp, so you can connect it via USB to your computer and fiddle with the settings to get a crazy variety of tones (you can even download pre-made settings from Fender's website). It's quite fun and it makes it super versatile (although admittedly it's not too loud - you'll need something bigger for a gig).
I just replaced the original strings with a new set of D’Addario EXL110 10-46 strings, and I adjusted the action and the intonation as well so the guitar is playing very well right now (and it will save you a trip to the guitar shop).
This is a great set for beginner/intermediate players, so if there are any EF'ers who want to surprise their teenage daughter/son with an awesome gift, or anyone who wants to pick up the guitar (maybe after a long interruption) without breaking the bank, this is a great place to start
