Wonderful 1974 Fender Stratocaster in three-tone Sunburst, with Rosewood fingerboard, large headstock, bullet trussrod, staggered pole pickups all in excellent condition complete with bridge cover and tremolo arm at a good price thanks to a replacement neck pickup.A great example of an early 70’s Stratocaster with a strong 3-Tone Sunburst, lightweight at 7.4lbs with a good tight neck joint and Indian Rosewood fingerboard.

The original plastics are in equally good condition.Weighing a very credible 7.4lbs. The guitar plays well with plenty of life left in the near 50 year old frets. The pickups sound excellent with the replacement balancing well with the original staggered pole greyback pickups. Cosmetically the guitar is a great e
