Fender / Stratocaster / 1972 / Sunburst 3 Tone / Guitar
|
Very 1960s vibe ... between the lighter weight and the staggered pole pick ups being leftover bastiens of that earlier era. While a hard tail or non trem Strat is not for every guy ... if you are looking for a great sounding guitar ... here it is!! Pot dates all date to 1972 (1 meg) and this guitar as unusual as it is for October of 1972 it actually HAS a neck date in black ink and no mysterious code to decipher! 22 OCT 72 B. All 3 pick up dates correspond. The bass pick up is very JIMI and it has the orig 3 way switch unmolested. C shaped neck profile but not too deep. It has some moderate soulful playing wear on the sides but looks like Mojo city! Photographs very nicely front and back. Frets may be orig but if not it's a REALLY great job and as a result i am going to rep it as refretted although either scenario is possible. This way it works to the buyer's benefit. Comes with a later 70s molded case and orig ash tray bridge cover. Excellent player and yet almost all original guitar!!
