Fender - Stratocaster - - Electric guitar - United States - 1976

1976 FENDER STRATOCASTER IN NATURAL ASH FINISH-F TUNERS-DIE CAST SADDLES ORIGINAL BRIDGE This 76 has a customized pickguard which at first sight looks normal,due of someone enlarge the control cavity once the normal pickguard did not fit anymore,so the people at Chandler made a special one which covers the enlarge cavity. NOTE: The cavity is recently restored by a luthier see pictures. Pickups are the original 70's grey bobbins,the volume pot and one tone pot are changed out,the mid tone pot is original,also wired different on the tone pots,to control the treble of the bridge pickup,this is a welcome option,since most of the time these are too bright in sound. 5 way switch is also the original one as well as the black knobs,backplate is orginal too. The nut on the neck and the string trees changed out for a bone one. The maple neck is in very good condition,the neck is recently refretted with medium jumbo frets(see pictures) And also the Luthier Reconstructed the control cavity by inserting a piece of Maple so that it looks authentic again.the pickguard shows a tiny gap now This guitar plays very smooth and sounds all the way legenday Fender,it has that Glassy/Bell sound. This is no collectors guitar but a player,if you're looking for that this may be the one,this guitar is 50 years of age and a true relic. Guitar will be delivered in Fender hardshell case
