Condition Report:
This guitar is presented in good condition with play wear that you'd expect on a guitar of this age. We believe that the body is a later 70s fender body, possibly '79. The neck plate is a replacement on this guitar, so please don't use the stamped serial number to date the instrument. The electronics on the guitar have been replaced with import 'Nobel' Pots and the bridge pickup is a replacement, however the neck and middle are the original pickups. The frets are original and show approximately 50% of life remaining. The guitar could soon use a refret, but plays well currently without any choking out. The electronics function as expected.
What's Included:
- 1973/79 Fender Stratocaster Hardtail In Black
