USED Fender / 1978 Stratocaster, White [05]

A 1978 Fender Stratocaster has just arrived!!

This is a large-headstock model, a characteristic of guitars from the late 1960s onward.
All specifications typical of models from 1975 onward—including the headstock serial number starting with “S8,” as well as the dates on the pickups and pots—match those of a 1978 model.
Although the date on the volume pot cannot be verified due to solder, we have determined it to be original based on the color and shape of the solder.
Tone 1 is dated 1377806, indicating a 1978 model; the capacitor features the original Circle D logo, while Tone 2 has been replaced.

The cavity for the bridge pickup has been modified to accommodate a humbucker.
In addition, the nut and frets have been replaced, and overall, the guitar is in player’s condition—making it a highly recommended vintage guitar that’s easy to play without any fuss.

It comes with a rare Owner’s Manual (featuring a serial number sticker matching the headstock serial number).
