This quintessential late ‘70s Strat features an ash body, U-shaped neck profile, sleek gloss Black finish with all-black plastics, gray bobbin single coil pickups, and a hardtail bridge with block saddles.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNaturally resonant and punchy at 10lbs 5oz, this Strat offers great natural midrange and a lively, broad frequency cut, with the added sustain and overall stability of the hardtail bridge. The flat pole alnico magnet pickups are notably jangly and sparkling, particularly at the bridge and the “in-between” settings on the five-way switch, which yield a slinky quack and cut. The neck pickup has a fuller bark and a smooth treble response. This Stratocaster Hardtail has been professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Maple\u003cbr\u003e\n-Shape: Medium U, measuring .865” 1st fret, .930” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fretboard: Maple, 7 1\/4” radius\u003cbr\u003e\n-Frets: Slender, moderate wear on frets 1-6 (favoring the plain strings)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Scale Length: 25 1\/2”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Nut: 1 9\/16”, bone\u003cbr\u003e\n-Tuners: F-stamped (Schaller-made)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Serialization: S9-prefix (peghead)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Ash\u003cbr\u003e\n-Pickups: Gray bobbin single coil x3, 1979 date stamps on bobbins\u003cbr\u003e\n-Harness: CTS pots date to the 9th week of ‘80, ceramic tone cap\u003cbr\u003e\n-Controls: Volume, Tone x2, Five-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e\n-Hardware: Hardtail bridge with block saddles, jack cup\u003cbr\u003e\n-Plastics: Three-ply black pickguard, black knobs\/pickup covers\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe gloss Black finish has a small area of buckle rash on the back at the belly contour, faint pick scuffing on top along the strum path, and a few minor dings and finish scratches, largely concentrated at the lower bout.
