USED Fender / 1973 Stratocaster with Black Rosewood Fingerboard [05]

We have received a 1973 Fender Stratocaster in black.

The Fender Stratocaster, born in the 1950s, is loved by musicians all over the world, and it goes without saying that countless guitarists continue to use it to this day.

This particular instrument is a 1973 model with serial number 380170.

It features many specifications that differ from Fender models from the 1950s through the mid-1960s, such as a large headstock, a truss rod adjustment screw accessible from the headstock side, and a three-screw neck plate.

The neck is stamped with the date 09012823, indicating it was manufactured in 1973. It features a rosewood fingerboard.

The pickups are: front: 192973, middle: not visible, and rear: XXXX73. Although the date on the middle pickup has faded, it looks authentic, so all are original 1973 gray-bobbin models with staccato pole pieces.

All pots are original 1973 models, numbered 1377310. The capacitors are also original. The selector switch has been replaced, but the original one is included.

While there are some dents and scratches consistent with its age, it remains in excellent condition overall. The truss rod has plenty of adjustment left, and playability is excellent.

This is a rare original model. The treble-rich sound unique to the Gray Bobbin instantly delivers the ultimate hard rock sound.

Please consider taking advantage of this opportunity.

* The case dates from around 1974, so while it may be original, we have determined it is from a different model year.
