USED Fender USA / 1974 Blonde Stratocaster [10]

A vintage Stratocaster in player's condition has arrived!

A 1974 Fender Stratocaster Blonde has arrived.
This guitar features the large headstock, bullet truss rod, and 3-point neck joint with micro-tilt adjustment that are emblematic of the CBS era of the 1970s.
The body is made of ash, and the grain stands out beautifully through the Blonde finish.
Weighing in at 3.78 kg, it is lightweight for an ash-bodied guitar of this era and offers a very comfortable balance.

The pickups, capacitors, and other metal and plastic parts have been kept original, allowing you to fully experience the edgy tone and quick attack characteristic of 1970s Fender guitars.
The pots, selector switch, and jack—parts prone to contact issues—have been replaced (though the original jack is included), which may provide peace of mind when actually using the guitar.
The frets have been replaced with jumbo-type frets, and during this process, the fingerboard was refinished and the nut was replaced.

The work has been meticulously finished, resulting in a highly playable condition that offers modern playability without compromising the vintage atmosphere.
There is a minute crack in the wood beneath the micro-tilt plate on the neck side.

Although this crack extends into the wood rather than being limited to the finish, it currently has no observable impact on the stability of the neck joint or playability, and is in a condition that poses no practical issues.

This is a "player's vintage" guitar that has been prepared for practical use while retaining the key parts essential for sound and the sense of ownership.

This is a guitar that lets you enjoy the distinctive look of a Blonde/Ash Body and the clear, punchy sound characteristic of a 70s Stratocaster.
