Fender Lead III MIM 2019

£450

This is a recent reissue of a 1982 model in the Lead series of guitars. The body shape is reminiscent of a Strat, with comfort carves on the belly and top, yet has a more symmetrical double cutaway and a smaller body. Two humbuckers with multiple switching options give you loads of different sounds - you can get close to Strat or Tele tones and of course the full humbucker sound of something akin to a Les Paul. Hardtail bridge ensures stable tuning and gives the guitar excellent resonance. It’s got a basswood body, with a satin finish maple neck and pao ferro fretboard. Overall a very comfortable guitar to play.

This one is in great condition, with minimal fret wear and only light marks on the pickguard. The neck pocket has hairline cracks in the poly finish, which is not unusual for Fender guitars. No hard case included but it’ll come with a gig bag.
