DESCRIPTION:
Shown here is a Fender Stratocaster electric guitar in Natural finish, with its standard tremolo bridge, dating to 1975 and built at the Fullerton, California plant during the era of CBS ownership. It is in overall good physical and playing condition with light checking and expected wear to the poly finish.
This instrument has been professionally refretted, and as part of the fingerboard was re-finished. It plays very well, matching the guitar's overall very good condition. The trem bridge is set up as disabled or 'decked', easy enough to alter should this be desired. The volume pot has been replaced, the two other pots are original. The original three-way switch is still in place.
The Fender Stratocaster was launched in 1954 and featured Leo Fender's brand-new 'synchronized tremolo' bridge design. A 'Hard Tail', non-trem version was also available.
This 1975 Fender Stratocaster features an Ash body, a common choice for Natural finishes. The neck is Maple with the Walnut 'Skunk Stripe' covering the rear-mounted truss rod channel. From later 1971, Fender necks shifted to a head-accessed truss rod adjuster - the Bullet - meaning that truss rod tweaks without damage to the body or pickguard no longer required removing the neck.At the same time, the three-bolt MicroTilt neck joint was introduced, making neck angle adjustments a matter of minutes.
The original rectangular hard shell case is included and contains the bridge cover.
