I have a nice 1989 Fender American Strat Plus for sale here. The pickups have been upgraded to D. Allen Voodoo '69s! I also did a simple "master volume, master tone" mod (can be easily undone) - I retained the original stacked tone pots which give you a lot of versatility. There are no other wiring upgrades done, other than a brand new 5 way switch. The original 2 point term is currently decked and blocked (with a piece of wood) - again, this can easily be undone. Comes with original roller nut (very cool) in excellent condition. The maple neck is 9 1/2 radius, the frets are in good shape, with a little bit of wear up at the cowboy position, but no issue, smooth fast playing neck. The truss rod works fine. The body has no major issues, just a few honest bumps and bruises from many years of use (I can send more picture if you like). The case is original and functioning. The original lace pickups are included as are the other original parts like the other tone pot and knobs. I'd like to get $800 for this, which will include shipping in continental US and paypal fees.

Two things. First, that's a really sweet Strat. Second, I went to plenty of concerts in Rochester from '75-'79 while an undergrad at Binghamton University (then SUNY-Binghamton) and have many fond and harrowing memories of the trips up and back and the shows!

Thanks Jon… you're a couple years older (and likely wiser) than me - my first was '77 in Roch - the next several years are all a blur!

Sweet axe, but I already have too many.
Jon, that's interesting as I am a Binghamton native.

I think (if fuzzy memory serves correctly) I saw The Police and a big club-like dance bar in BingoTown in about 1981. That was also my first GD year. Someone else too...maybe Tom Petty before he was big.

Looks like last call on this one - I'm going to convert it back to original configuration and sell it as Strat Plus with the lace pickups. I'll either use the voodoo's on another project or sell them off separately…
Thanks
