I have a 2000 Fender Roland Ready Stratocaster that I'm selling.  Overall, the guitar is in very good condition for being a 13 year old.  No major dents, dings, or chips anywhere.  The original white has yellowed to a nice vintage white look with some slight discoloration here and there.  The covers on the backside still have the protective clear plastic on them. 

The guitar has been refretted with jumbo frets.  The fret job looks OK and the guitar plays great, but you can see some places where the fretboard is dinged up a bit.  Overall, however, the jumbo frets make for a much easier playing strat compared with the original frets that came with it. 

No trem bar is included.  A TKL hardcase is included.  Guitar is setup with 10s.  Roland electronics all work great with a GR-55 that I have.

Guitar weighs 7 lbs 10 oz.


  • $450 shipped CONUS.

  • Will ship FedEx Home Delivery fully insured.

You might want to get some rosewood sawdust and superglue to fill in those gaps and chips in the wood.  You can also put some in the fret slots where there are spaces.

I would definitely do some finishing on those frets, they just don't look right, especially the fret ends.

That's looks interesting.

Those jumbo frets are looking pretty tall. It must almost feel like playing a scalloped neck. Does it effect the accuracy of note triggering at all if you finger the note too hard and shift the pitch?

I tend to apply probably more fingering pressure than is really called for and have stuck with small frets to minimise any unwanted effect. I have often wondered if my caution is unwarranted.
Once I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken.

I find it difficult switching between short and tall frets. My fretted notes are annoyingly sharp until I readjust my touch.
