Description

This 1975 Fender Stratocaster features the original hardtail bridge coveted by so many players who are looking for something a little different from the standard vibrato bridge strat. A fairly significant amount of play wear tells the story of this guitar as a beloved and often played instrument over the last 50 years, and it is mostly all-original with the exception of a replaced bone nut and DiMarzio SDS-1 bridge pickup. The Olympic White finish has yellowed over time and was likely exposed to some smoke, giving it that awesome vintage buttery off-white shade that a guitar can only attain through experience. 

Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech. In Good Vintage condition with moderate wear for an instrument of this age, including scratches, finish checking, nicks, aging of parts and finish, and other signs of normal handling and use. See below for more details and specifications.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.  

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
