1979 Fender Stratocaster Natural, Good, Hard
Offered for sale;
Used 1979 Fender Stratocaster serial number S924236.
This Stratocaster is in good condition. The neck, rosewood fretboard and frets are fine. We see far more maple fretboards in this era.
Occasionally there were finish issues with these late 70’s Strats. The finish on this one has a lot of checking. Some top coat is gone on the back leaving a satin sheen. That doesn’t look so bad because it’s all natural. The worst of it is around the sides where the clear coat has gotten a bit milky.
The pickups have been replaced with newer American Standard pickups. The vibrato bar receptacle in the block was stripped and then re-tapped with an insert. It works perfectly now.
These issues are your gain, lowering the price hundreds.
This is a very good playing Strat that sounds great and has abundant patina and soul, funky personified.
Hard shell case included.

*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
