Condition:

This rare find is in good player's grade condition, presenting nicely for its age. There is plenty of wear and tear around the body from years of use, but few that impact playability or aesthetic. The only notable wear that impacts playability are two small finish chips on the back of the neck, in the area of the 2nd/3rd fret. These are small enough that they don't get in the way, but can be felt by the thumb depending on your hand position. Besides this, the wear is limited to the body and headstock, and is merely aesthetic. The frets and fretboard are in good condition, with just some light marks on a few of the frets (the frets appear to be original). The gold hardware has tarnished, especially on the bridge, though could be polished back to shiny with some careful treatment. The plastics have aged and browned in places, but are all original and do not look unpleasant against the guitar. Functionally, the guitar is perfect, with all original electronics working as intended without issue. It comes with the original hard case and tremolo arm.

The Elite Stratocaster was an effort to integrate active electronics into an upgraded Stratocaster design.  While sharing many elements with a traditional Stratocaster, the Elite used a different tremolo bridge, individual push pickup selectors and EQ-boosting TBX and MDX circuits. The Elite was only produced for two years, but the later Stratocaster Plus does share some features with it. 

Body Style: Double cutaway solidbody 

Years of Production: 1983 - 1984
