Up for sale, a 1975 Fender Stratocaster in excellent cognition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. A great medium weight vintage Stratocaster with a clear acoustic voice, this Fender is 100% original save for a fresh refret with medium fretwire and a couple newer knobs.

The trio of flat-pole gray bobbin single coil pickups 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. This Stratocaster weighs 7lbs 15oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
