USED Fender / 1976 Stratocaster Hard Tail Sunburst [06]

Hardtail Stratocaster made in 1976 is now in stock!

This Stratocaster does not have a tremolo unit, but has a back-threaded bridge with a hardtail design, which transmits the string vibration directly to the body and produces a solid and punchy sound that is different from the general Strat sound caused by spring resonance and cavity space.

The body and neck date from the 8th week of '76, respectively, and the 1-piece maple neck from the 6th week of '76. 3-point neck joint with micro-tilt mechanism has been confirmed to work.
Three original '76 gray bobbin PUs with flat polepieces are installed.
Other electrical components are also original, with a '75 POT date and a 3-point PU selector.
The pegs are original F-keys, and the hardness of the pegs may vary, but there are no problems with their use. The nut has been replaced with a brass one.

As for the condition, the paint on the back of the head is peeling, which is common in this period, and the peeled edges are slightly raised.
In addition, there are scratches, dents, cracks and chips in the paint, deterioration, rust and stains on the metal parts.
The guitar has been cleaned and adjusted after arrival, and can be used without any playing problems.

This is a rare hardtail Stratocaster from the 70's, which has been gaining popularity in recent years. Considering its age, we recommend this Stratocaster to be highly original.
