Yeah, right, it’s going back before 30 days!
Yesterday, I stopped at the local L&M and ran the racks, seeing the same old, same old.
I found a well played 1989 Fender USA, Strat plus. It was not marked that way; it was just marked American Stratocaster, USED. The price was too high for the neck condition, fret wise; but it still played well. I thought it had a TBX pot by the way it had a detent on 5. It just did not act like anything special. The trem was half assed decked, no trem arm, no case.
I tried it briefly, realized it was not set up for me, but three early appearing gold lace, possibly a TBX, updated LSR nut, Pewter Schaller locking tuners, and general feel of a decent Fender Stratocaster. The pickups were set low for some reason, and lacked punch.
L&M said rent it or buy it outright, you can return it within 30 days. Pulled out the credit card, and took it home for 29 days, maybe less.
Anyone else do that kind of buy it and try it kind of thing?
