1970 Fender Stratocaster Hardtail Heavily Faded 3-Tone Sunburst

Freshly set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech, this 1970 Strat is dialed in and ready for another 50 years of musical endeavors. In Very Good vintage condition with modest wear and tear for an instrument of this age, including light scratches, dings, impressions, and general aging of hardware and original finish.

We originally thought this guitar had been refinished in 2-Tone sunburst, but when our Tech took off the pickguard, it revealed a vibrant 3-Tone sunburst finish outlined by the pickguard, indicating that the red simply faded out of the original finish on the rest of the guitar. See photo below. So the finish we're seeing now is, in fact, original. Somehow that makes us love this guitar even more.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
