Up for sale, a 1974 Fender Stratocaster in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. Boasting a gloss Natural finish over the ash body, this quintessential ‘70s Strat features a U-shaped neck profile carve, large headstock, block logo, and block saddles on the Synchronized Tremolo.
The trio of gray bobbin single coils excel at delivering a sparkling, snappy range of tonalities: the bridge pickup offers bite and upper midrange presence, the middle pickup has a certain honk and percussive chime, and the neck single coil has a smooth, detailed tone that's ideal for solos and lead work. Weighing 8lbs 15oz, this Stratocaster benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Natural finish exhibits broad checking on all sides, with light buckle rash along the treble side of the back and a handful of small dings and faint scratches on all sides consistent with use, most prominent at the lower bout. The gloss on the neck profile is smooth to the palm, with a few shallow nicks along the profile length that are not distracting to the palm while fretting.
The original black tolex hardshell case is included; one of the locking latches is non-functional.
