USED FENDER CUSTOM SHOP / Team Built 1971 Stratocaster Closet Classic Arctic White [03]

A 2008 Team Built 1971 Stratocaster Closet Classic has arrived!
This Team Built model faithfully reproduces the characteristics of the early 1970s CBS era—including “F-key” tuners, a large headstock, and the transitional four-point neck joint—while featuring a subtle aged finish.

It features a carefully selected lightweight alder body and a one-piece maple neck. The 1970s “C” shape retains just the right amount of grip, with a 7.25-inch radius; the frets have been replaced with jumbo frets, a departure from the vintage style.

It is equipped with a “Custom Shop ’69 Strat” pickup signed by legendary luthier Abigail Ibara, who has crafted pickups for artists such as Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton.
With clean, tight bass and crisp, clear highs, the tone remains clear even when driven hard, faithfully reproducing the tight, juicy sound emblematic of ’70s rock.

There are scattered scratches, dents, and playwear throughout the guitar, with weather checking visible near each tuning peg post on the headstock and color fading visible across the entire body.
The guitar has been refretted and re-nuted, and the inertia block and spring hanger have been replaced.

The neck is in excellent condition, and the frets still have plenty of height.

The combination of “Closet Classic” moderate aging treatment and authentic patina results in a truly atmospheric look—a highly recommended instrument!
