Based on the '71 Stratocaster, this model features large headstock incorporated from the late '60s and "F" engraved tuning machines. This guitar features bright sounding Stratocaster single-coil pickup mounted on an ash body, slim-grip neck with wide frets to provides improved playability.

Very cool and ultra classic vibes, this Made in Japan Traditional '70s Stratocaster® Ash in a natural finish has all the sonic MOJO any player could crave. This guitar features a dank and stank attitude that will have you standing on the verge of getting it on. The totally awesome vibe of this piece is a real treat that takes you back to the days when funk bands rocked and rock bands were funky. Carefully crafted to true vintage specs, it has a premium ash body, large headstock, bullet truss rod and neck with a clean U profile that is just right. The monochromatic color scheme of the natural body with the sweet maple fingerboard is actually a perfect pairing when you add the shiny chrome hardware. It does the trick to making this tone monster a visual bite for any player looking for some eye candy to rock. She sets up like a dream and really is a fantastic player, easy action, lots of bark and woof, and super detailed tones are all in fruitful abundance. Plugged in to the Deluxe Reverb this axe sings with all the authority we anticipated. Cosmetically, it is in good condition with a few battle scars that prove she is hard to put down. Freshly set up and dialed in, my luthier dressed, leveled & polished the frets and they have plenty of life. The fretboard along with all the hardware and electronic components are in perfect, fully functional shape. This is a great piece that exemplifies all the great traits MIJ Fender guitars are duly noted for. A true stage ready/worthy warrior, this funky beast will keep your rails greased and the mothership connection headed straight for electric lady-land.

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s

We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS INCURRED (NOT CHARGES) WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 10% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
