Description
Here is a nice Fender Stratocaster, USA made in 1977 and finished in a classy all natural finish. It is in original, unchanged condition. It features a solid ash body and a bolt-on maple neck with maple fingerboard.
This one is super clean for a 42 year old guitar. It has some natural striations in the finish, a few light scuffs in its original shiny finish, but nothing significant. There are few light scuffs on the back but almost no buckle rash to speak of, and there is no tarnishing of the metal parts. The neck is super clean front and back. There are no structural issues, and this thing feels great to play.
The frets are in great shape, all electronics work 100%, the neck is clean & comfortable, and the pickups are solid and punchy. It has a 5-way blade switch, and the trem & truss rod work perfectly.
It weighs in at 10.4 lbs which is on the solid side, but we believes contributes to its tough, meaty sound.
Medium D profile neck, 42 mm at the nut.
This Fender Stratocaster has all original parts from the day it was purchased giving the classic tones and feel expected of this 1977 baby.
All in all, an excellent, original 70s Strat in classic natural finish, with that magnificent oversize headstock, rear skunk stripe and a 3 bolt neck joint that does NOT move or slide around. Quite a looker, with sound to match.
Comes in a later DP Stage case, which is form fitted high strength foam enclosed in a tough vinyl cover.
