About This Listing

Very clean Stratocaster serial dates to 1983-1985. The neck grain and gloss finish are beautiful. It looks like tuners may have been replaced. The pickups appear to have been setup with more midrange given the height on G string. Some light scuffs, finish crack on back, and light peeling of gloss on neck. Comes with after market hard shell case. Great shape especially considering age.

Product Overview
At the end of the resurgent Dan Smith era, Fender introduced a new Stratocaster with only two control knobs and a input jack mounted on the top of the body for 1983 and 1984. This guitar is referred to as the "Standard Stratocaster" (not to be confused with the later Made in Mexico Strat of the same name). 

Unique to this two-year production run were the Freeflyte surface-mounted vibrato tailpiece (no internal cavity), top mounted input jack and third tone knob delete. 

The "Standard Stratocaster" is frequently confused with the "Dan Smith" Stratocaster, which features a traditional Stratocaster tremolo system, and three knob control layout.
