Fender is undoubtedly the number one brand of electric guitars and basses.
It's beloved by countless top artists, including Eric Clapton, John Mayer, and Ritchie Blackmore. (Titles omitted)
The Stratocaster, released by Fender in 1954, was introduced as a derivative of the Telecaster, the original solid-state guitar.
Its innovative design and versatility have earned it a place among countless artists, and it has dominated music scenes across a wide range of genres since its introduction.
It's truly a representative model of the electric guitar.
Based on the serial number, this model is a Startocaster manufactured in 1976.
It features features unique to this era, such as a large headstock, Bullet-style truss rod nut, F key tuning machine, and a three-bolt neck joint.
The body is made of classic ash.
The classic three-tone sunburst finish has shown discoloration and peeling of the paint over time, giving it an old-fashioned look.
The neck is made of maple.
The pickups are three single-coil.
The neck and middle positions are original, while the bridge position has been replaced.
The sound is brilliant and fat.
The extremely thick tone is a bit different from the bright sound you might expect from an ash body and maple neck, making it an appealing choice.
This is a 1970s Fender, which has become increasingly rare in recent years.
Why not take advantage of this opportunity?
Approximately 70% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is stiff but can be moved about 90 degrees.
The neck is in good condition.
The body and paint show signs of wear and tear, and rust and dullness can be seen on the metal parts. There is a crack in the pickguard near the saddle on the first string side, and a linear scratch near the neck pickup on the sixth string side. There is paint chipping and fading near the cutaway on the sixth string side and the elbow contour, and multiple dents can be seen around the jack, controls, pickup, and endpin. Additionally, there are dents, paint chipping, and linear scratches scattered throughout the body sides and back. The neck also has small dents throughout, a linear scratch near the logo on the headstock, and multiple dents on the back of the headstock.
The electrical system is in good condition.
