USED FENDER USA / 1974 Stratocaster Sunburst [03]

The Stratocaster, which has been in production since 1954, has been beloved by many players for many years.

The model we’ve just received is a 1974 Stratocaster featuring specifications different from those of the ’50s and ’60s, such as a large headstock, a bullet nut that allows for truss rod adjustment from the headstock, and a three-point neck joint.

The body is made of alder, and the top features a faded reddish hue, giving it a dignified, vintage-style appearance.
Weighing in at 3.43 kg, this is a lightweight, well-balanced instrument.

The neck date is 09033433, indicating it was manufactured in 1973.

It is equipped with three gray-bobbin pickups featuring staggered pole pieces.

The dates are “x3xx74” for the front, “183074” for the middle, and “183074” for the bridge—all original 1974 parts.

It pairs well with driven tones, producing a trebly, cutting rock sound.
It’s also a perfect match for clean-tone cutting.

The pots are Vol 1377430, Tone 1 1377430, and Tone 2 1377430—all original 1974 models.
There are signs that some of the solder on the pot section has been reworked, a ground connection has been added, and the upper strap pin hole has been re-drilled.
The selector switch is the original 3-way model.

The entire bridge assembly—including the tremolo springs and block—and the jack have been replaced.

The back panel is missing.

Overall, there are scratches, dents, peeling paint, and weather checking.
Additionally, there are paint melt marks around the base of the headstock caused by a stand.

Although it shows signs of use, it’s a very cool-looking guitar with a vintage vibe.
.

It comes with a molded case believed to date from the 1980s.

This Stratocaster features excellent pedal compatibility and a sparkling sound, embodying the unique charm of that era.
