Up for sale is a great looking and highly collectible 1984 Fender Elite Stratocaster in its rare and sleek Pewter finish. Comes with the original Case and Elite pamphlet with feature chart. Produced for only a brief window between 1983 and 1984, the Elite Series represents a fascinating, high-tech chapter in Fender's transition era. This particular guitar is in Excellent Condition, exceptionally clean for a 40+ year-old vintage instrument, and remains a testament to Fender's early '80s innovation. The only common modification is that the micro tuning nut has been removed and did not come with the guitar.

Condition & Playability: 

Body & Finish: The Pewter finish looks incredible. It has aged beautifully with a deep, metallic luster. Only very minor, superficial surface swirling and tiny blemishes consistent with light, careful use over four decades. No major dings, deep gouges, or buckle rash.

Neck & Frets: The neck is straight, and the truss rod functions perfectly. The fretboard shows very minimal wear on the first three frets, and the frets have plenty of life left in them with no major pitting. It plays fast and smooth across the entire board.

Hardware: The original chrome hardware retains its shine.

Key Features & Innovation

Active Electronics: Powered by a 9V battery, featuring Fender's groundbreaking TBX (Treble Bass Expander) and MDX (Mid-Boost Control) circuits. This allows you to dial in everything from classic, crystalline Strat chime to fat, humbucker-like midrange punch. Push-Button Switching: Features the iconic 3-button pickup selector matrix, allowing for unique pickup combinations (including all three on at once).Alnico II Pickups: Noise-canceling, dummy-coil design that delivers pure tone without the classic single-coil hum. Freeflyte Tremolo System: Top-loading tremolo system that requires no back-routing, preserving the body's natural resonance and sustain.
