USED Fender / 1973 Stratocaster Sunburst [12]

A 1973 Fender Stratocaster has arrived.
First introduced in 1954, the Stratocaster continues to reign as the top guitar in the electric guitar world.
This particular model, manufactured in 1973, features an alder body and a one-piece maple neck, and weighs a light 3.29 kg.

The neck and pot dates are from 1973. Although the pickups do not have a date stamp, they are original and feature staggered pole pieces with black bobbins. The selector switch has been replaced with a 5-way model, and the wiring has been modified so that Tone 1 controls the front and center pickups, while Tone 2 controls the rear pickup.

With its major parts retained in their original condition, this guitar is in excellent player’s condition and delivers a Stratocaster sound with the sharp, edgy character typical of that era.
The frets, nut, and pickup mount bushings have been replaced with spring-loaded ones; the saddle set screws have been replaced; and the fingerboard has been refinished.
The frets have more than 7-bun remaining, and the neck condition and truss rod are adjustable.
A rare original strap from that era is included, but there is no warranty regarding its condition.
