Used - Good Condition

  • Body: the finish on the body has some really cool checking and discoloration/aging that make this Strat really stand out; other noticeable marks, scratches (moderate buckle rash), dings, and chips can be found on the top, back, and sides, but this Fender wears its scars well!; the pickguard has some obvious wear, particularly below the high E-string where there is a large spot of wear and tear from years of playing; the neckplate and jackplate have some light scratches on them
  • Neck, Fretboard, and Headstock: the fretboard shows some obvious wear along the edges and some noticeable chips, dings, and scratches in the lacquer; the back of the neck has some very light scratches and a few small dings in the lacquer that are barely noticeable to the touch and should not affect comfort or playability; on the headstock one of the string trees is missing and the one that is there is a bit rusty looking; the headstock has some easily noticeable chips in the lacquer, mostly along the front treble side edge between the nut and the bottom of the "F" in the "Fender" logo, plus a few light scuff marks. scratches, and tiny dings can be seen on the front, back, and sides of the headstock
  • Action and Playability: the action is about medium-low, plus the neck is straight and the truss rod functions flawlessly
  • Frets: moderate wear with some small grooves forming in the first four frets, however there is not fret out or buzzing at this time
  • Hardware: the tuners look fantastic; one of the string trees is missing and the one that is there is a bit rusty looking; the bridge looks fantastic, but the saddles have some very faint rust spots on them; the jack plate and the neck plate both show some scratches on them; the strap buttons have some noticeable wear in the finish
  • Electronics: all functions flawlessly
  • Includes: electric guitar and hardshell case (one string tree is missing)

The Anitgua burst finish was re-introduced in 1977 and had previously been used 10 years earlier for Fender's Coronado semi-hollow body guitars. Referred to as "Moon Burst" and "Spew Burst", the Fender Antigua finish has a unique charm that is overflowing with '70s mojo! Add that to the really cool checking and aging in the finish, and you have a Fender Strat that has some stories to tell! This '79 Strat is all original and ready rock! If you've been looking for a vintage Strat, then this is the one you don't wanna let slip by. Good luck!
