1973 Fender Stratocaster

The 1970's saw changes for many models across the Fender catalog, with this 1973 Stratocaster being a wonderful example of an early '70s Strat done right. Finished in a Black custom colour lacquer, this guitar features a Maple neck and Alder body, along with the traditional synchronised tremolo found on the model. The body is fitted with a set of three single coil pickups, and the guitar is finished with the original 3 ply pickguard, 'F' stamped tuners and three bolt neck design.
This guitar is in very good condition, with only fairly minor signs of play wear and lacquer checking, primarily to the rear of the body where there is some buckle rash. The three pots all date to the 10th week of 1973 (137 7310), and the neck pickup has been rewound at some point in its life. Otherwise, this guitar is internally and externally original.
As with all our instruments, this guitar has been given a full service and appraisal by our luthiers at the Vintage Instrument Workshop, and includes a 3 year warranty.
