Dan Smith was chosen to revise and improve the Fender Stratocaster in the early 1980s. The CBS era had not done Fender much good, and by bringing in Smith, among others, the Stratocaster had to be brought back to the top.
In June 1983, the Standard Stratocaster was significantly revised with the aim of reducing costs. The jack-socket was moved to the new single-ply pickguard with twelve screws and only one tone control instead of two; hence the nickname '2 Knob Stratocaster'.
Furthermore, this Stratocaster features an alder body with a Ivory White finish, a maple neck with a 12-inch radius and a Freeflyte tremolo system. The lacquer has been severely discoloured, and the original Ivory White colour is still visible underneath the pickguard; a very cool effect!
The guitar has a replaced nut that was later raised, but is otherwise completely original. A beautiful piece from a very interesting period in Fender history!
