Personal Thoughts:
This 1997 American Standard Strat is a real sleeper—Inca Silver is a classic finish that doesn’t show up often, especially in this kind of condition. The modern “C” maple neck feels fantastic in the hand and the tones are exactly what you'd want from a strat of this era—glassy, snappy, and full of character. Great for anyone looking for that late-'90s Fender quality that’s becoming increasingly sought after.
 
Condition Report:
Excellent overall with one small chip in the lacquer on the fretboard near the 2nd fret (see photos). Otherwise extremely clean for its age. Frets are in great shape, and it's been professionally set up to play beautifully.
