Thank you for looking at my auction.
Please read my standard terms below, before bidding.
Up for auction is the original owner's manual and accessories that came with Fender Guitars and Basses. This is a nice set that came with Fender's American Special Stratocaster, but is a good set for any American Fender guitar that uses the standard U.S. Truss and U.S. Strat size Bridge hex wrench. This set comes with the Fender polishing cloth, and truss and bridge adjustment wrenches.
.
This set is almost identical to the Highway 1 Strat set, except the Hwy 1 comes with the Lacquer Finishes Guide. The only thing specific to the American Special Stratocaster, is the red inspection tag if one is present.
This set may be specialized for a particular type of guitar and contains certain custom items and/or differs from standard Fender Case Candy. If you are looking for a more general set or something different, please see my other auctions to select the best match for your needs.
.
Many items in this kit are common to most Fender guitars and basses, including the manual and tools. For Fender branded instruments, the user manual is the same between the American and Mexican instruments, and I've found it applies to most standard Fender and Squier instruments.
Check my other ads to make sure you bid on the set that best matches what you need, or ask me about the model you have. I may have certain customized sets for Artist Series, Custom Shop, Classic, Deluxe, Road Worn and others, which include special hang tags, tools, instruction sheets, and more, so please ask!
Tools (if included):
You should note that there are differences between the tools for American series Fenders and Mexican or Japanese models. Some models require an additional wrench (such as locking tremolo) and some don't need a truss rod wrench. Make sure the tools in this kit (if any) match your guitar or, if you don't need tools, check my other items or ask me, and you may save some money.
What's included:
Note: If the description below differs from the picture, it probably indicates an error in my ad. If you find a discrepancy, please contact me before bidding!
Common items (included with most Fender guitars):
-
Owner's Manual for Guitars and Basses, Copyright 2002 (current from 2002 to 2011). The adjustments and most of the descriptions should apply to most pre-2002 instruments as well.
-
Hang Tag: "Thank you" tag featuring Fender headstock designs on one side, "Thank you" message on reverse.
-
Hang Tag: Warranty
-
Bumper Sticker: Fender logo.
-
Owner's Registration Card: Blank!
-
Hex Wrench, Truss Rod, U.S. Size: Different guitars use different sizes of this wrench depending on the model and when and where it was made.
-
Hex Wrench, Bridge Saddle, U.S. Size: Different guitars use different sizes of this wrench depending on the model and when and where it was made.
Set Specific items (extras specific to this model):
-
Pink insert explaining truss rod adjustment, for those used to vintage necks.
-
Fender Polishing Cloth, new in bag
- Fender "Strat" Inspection Tag, not pictured, is not included in the bid price, but if it is present, I will include it. For sure the model and serial number likely won't match your guitar anyway. If you care about this tag, please ask before you bid and I'll tell you if this set has it.
What's not included:
-
The red Fender inspection tag may be missing from some sets. If you really want this tag, please ask before you bid and I'll tell you if this set has it. For sure, the model and serial numbers on the tag won't match your guitar anyway.
-
Note: There is no actual candy in this set!
-
OK, actually, if it's not pictured and it's not listed, it's not included!
-
If it's pictured but not listed, or listed but not pictured, it's probably a mistake. Contact me before bidding! (Exception is the red "Strat" tag. See above.)
Condition:
New or Like New, in Very Good to Mint condition unless indicated. The plastic bag was opened unless noted. There may be some marks commonly found on documents that were packaged with guitar hardware, but there are no tears or major defects unless noted in the description or picture. I bought these in bulk to hunt for my own guitar's kit.
Please don't sell counterfeit guitars.

Standard Terms: Read Before Bidding! (They're not complicated, but can prevent misunderstandings later.)
Please do not abuse the "Ask Seller a Question" feature to spam me. I will report all spam, harassment, or any obvious abuses I don't like that violate eBay's policies.
-
No Warranties: I am not a large reseller, so I can't offer any warranties with the items I sell, but may choose to offer one for certain items. Unless stated otherwise, all items are used, in the condition described, and are sold AS-IS. Bid accordingly.
- Shipping Charges: I am not a large reseller, so I don't get any volume discounts or other advantages with shipping. I have set up eBay's shipping calculator to show you how much it will cost to ship your item before you bid. If you are unsure about the cost, ask before you bid, rather than complain after the fact.
- Shipping Methods: For U.S.A. shipments, I usually offer three choices of shipping, including USPS Parcel Post or Media Mail (where appropriate) for lower cost. However, these methods are slower, so please don't complain about slow shipping if you choose to go cheap. If you're in a hurry, I recommend USPS Priority Mail. International shipments are always going to be slower. How slow depends on your country.
- Combined Shipping for certain items: If you want to combine shipping on any items that don't have that set up already, please ask before you bid, and I'll let you know if it can be done. Large items usually can't be combined, though, because they're in their own boxes. But, it all depends, so it doesn't hurt to ask.
- Shipping Insurance: If this is an expensive item, I strongly encourage you to purchase shipping insurance to protect against shipping damage. I usually offer insurance as a shipping option. For some items I may make insurance mandatory.
- "Sniping" is perfectly legal: Please be aware that you can be outbid at the last minute through a practice called "sniping". Neither eBay nor I have any control over this practice as it is within eBay's Policies. Please watch this item when it's close to the end, or bid your maximum price now so you're not disappointed later.
- Payment: You have seven days to pay for your item. If you don't pay by that time, and don't communicate with me, I will post negative feedback and file a non-paying bidder complaint with eBay (to recoup my fees). Communicate! If you let me know of any problems, I can give you an extension, but if you still end up not paying, I will have to report you.
- Problems? In the unlikely event there is a problem with your purchase, please contact me before leaving feedback. There's probably a simple solution.
- If you have any questions about this item, please ask BEFORE you bid! You are responsible for deciding whether this item will meet your needs.
- If you are not in the U.S.A., Please Read This Paragraph. It appears the best and least expensive shipping method is through the United States Postal Service. However, please be aware that your country may charge you additional import fees on your end that are beyond my control. I am not responsible for your country's import laws or any duties or taxes they charge when you pick up your item. You should have experience receiving items from the U.S., or find out before bidding, otherwise you must take your chances. Please ask for a shipping estimate before you bid if eBay's shipping calculator doesn't show it to you.
- Please do not copy my ad text or format. If you are an eBay seller, and you copy my ad text, buyers get confused. It doesn't look like much, with the simple blue border and such, but I also have a unique way of saying things and my ads also contain some traces of humor (such that it is) that are uniquely mine. I don't want buyers to get confused and think I'm selling your items. I report copyright violations to eBay.
For Lightning fast shipment, please use PayPal.
This item is available for sale world wide.

Additional Messages:
International (Non-USA) eBayers:
Please do not ask me to falsify customs documents. I will not do it. It is illegal. I have decided to allow international bidders on certain items such as this one, where I don't anticipate any export restrictions or additional hassles. I don't do a lot of international sales, and you should know in advance that shipping items outside the U.S. to other countries is more of a hassle. Once I ship the item, it may get stuck in your country's customs department, and delayed there. You may be charged additional fees which, depending on your country, can be extremely high. These additional delays and charges are beyond any eBay seller's control. Still, buyers blame their eBay sellers and post negative feedback claiming excessive shipping charges and excessive shipping delays. This is why many U.S.A. sellers don't sell World Wide.
If you are a non-USA buyer, please learn about your country's customs fees, regulations, and how long it takes packages to clear before you bid. What happens in your country's customs department is beyond my control! If you post negative feedback because your country charged you fees in addition to my shipping fees, I will post negative feedback against you for not knowing how this works! |
