USED FENDER / 1974 Stratocaster Natural [06]

A rare 1974 Stratocaster weighing 3.45 kg has arrived!

It features an ash body, a one-piece maple neck with a three-point mounting, and a large headstock.
It’s equipped with original 1974-dated gray-bobbin pickups. This is the last model year to feature staggered pole pieces. The pickup selector has been replaced, but the pots are original 1973-dated ones.
It features specifications typical of a ’70s Strat, including F-key tuners, a synchronized tremolo with a block saddle, and two string guides.
The frets and nut have been replaced, and as a result, the fingerboard has been leveled and both the fingerboard and neck have been refinished.
Additionally, the body has been over-lacquered, resulting in paint deterioration, color unevenness, and sun fading due to aging.
The neck shows slight waviness; while the current frets have been leveled and show no dents, they are set slightly low.
The back panel has been replaced.
Overall, the exterior shows signs of use, such as dents and scuffs; however, the weight of 3.45 kg—despite being a 1970s ash body—is extremely rare and certainly a welcome feature. The sound also delivers that characteristic 1970s power, so this guitar is recommended for players who want to play it hard.
