Fender 400 ***please close, I keep it***

Post by Jean-Sebastien Gauthier »

Hi, I sell my Fender 400. 1000$ **Free Shipping to Canada and USA**

6 pedals, 1 lever.

I don't like switching from different guitars and neck scale so I just keep playing my short scale Fender 1000 and my Fender 22.5" Deluxe 8.

More pictures soon.

The guitar is currently tuned to D9, same as top 8 strings E9 but a step lower. This is because the G# string broke easily with these long scale.

It have 6 pedals and 1 lever but presently have just 3 pedal installed. ABC pedal and a LKR lever that lower the second and 8th strings a half step.

With these Fender its longer to change strings than change pedal setup so I can change it with any copedent you want and you also can change it in 15 minutes!

But you have to deal with the limitations:

-One lower and one raise each strings
-6 pedals, 1 lever (you can easily add more lever)

Sorry for the very long delay but I was away and also I was looking for the original return spring and can't find them! I mess with the springs to have them adjustable and it work well, its far from perfect and someone can make it way bette but it work. I made 8 holes to have them adjustable with nuts, I use only 2 lower (2nd and 8 strings) so its setup like this now. I know I have the original springs somewhere but just cant remember where! If I found them I will ship it to the buyer as soon as I found them.

I also removed the tone and volume control because I use a Dearmond Volume/Tone pedal but I still have the original controls.

The guitar is currently setup to D9 with 3 pedal but I will give the 3 other pedals sot you have 6 pedals plus a lever.

On a good note, I cleaned everything when I bough it, use only dry teflon.

The guitar is functional, in good shape, it play very well and sound amazing, you only miss the original spring (its good to try different springs anyway). I will lower the price to 950$ because of the missing springs and will give a nice gig bag, the original case too.

There more pictures.

Thanks a lot Hugh!

Its a great guitar! Like I said, I feel bad not finding the original springs but I must have them somewhere, too much things happened since this summer and I moved lot of stuff. It still a great guitar and I hope it will be played and loved!

What gig bag did you find to fit? I had Mooradian make one for the 400 and used a shotgun bag for the pedals/legs. Beats lugging the hard shell. A plus for the buyer.
