Offered for sale:
Used c1975 Fender Stratocaster serial number 712024.
This guitar is in very good condition, it has had a pro refret performed however there are some fingerboard marking that appears to be the result of the procedure. Cosmetically there is playing wear and several nicks and a few gauges on the top. There is a small chip on the front of the headstock and end of the fingerboard.
The pickups are dated 1974 and pots are late mid 1974. There is a small hole for a mini toggle in the pickguard between the pickup selector switch and the volume knob. The natural finish is original.
The features that make these mid-seventies Stratocasters are all here; Ash body (much lighter than usual), Maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard, large headstock with Fender logo and patent number, 3-bolt neck, bullet truss rod, two butterfly string trees, Fender closed back tuners and six-saddle tremolo bridge/tailpiece.
The neck pocket is not as close fitting as a G&L but it’s not affecting its stability.
This is an exceptionally resonant and good playing example of this era.
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.
