Fender USA Fullerton American Vintage Reissue AVRI Stratocaster Body 1983 with Original Tremolo Bridge with Double Fender Stamped Saddles

Early 1980s Fender USA American Vintage Reissue (AVRI) Stratocaster body from the iconic Fullerton factory run (1982–1984). This body came with its original maple neck, which has a hand-written pencil date of 3-29-83 (sold separately - see my separate listing).

This vintage Strat body comes paired with the original vintage-spec Fender bridge assembly, featuring the rare and highlt desirable "FENDER FENDER" stamped saddles, unique to the earliest Fullerton reissues.

  • The "Fullerton Bump": Features the distinct routing protrusion inside the treble side cutaway—a famous characteristic left by the original 1950s factory tooling templates revived for this run.
  • Worm Route: curved worm route in the bridge pickup cavity area to accommodate pickup lead wires.
  • Factory Stamps: Features the classic faded quality control "T" ink stamp inside the neck pocket.
  • Finish: Original Sunburst finish
  • Condition: Beautiful player-grade vintage condition with surface marks, light nicks, and dings typical for a 40+ year old instrument. Structurally solid with no extra holes drilled or routing modifications.

NOTES: I also have the '57 Fullerton AVRI Stratocaster neck with original tuners that came with this body. See separate listing. I'll offer a discount for the purchase of both together. Photos showing both are for reference only. This listing is for the body with bridge.

Perfect body for a historically accurate vintage US Strat build, or to complete you're AVRI. Will be packed and padded with care and shipped fully insured. Includes body, bridge and output jack with plate and screws. I believe the jack itself was replaced at some point (with a quality replacement).
