Fender Stratocaster (1979) blackie, U2-the Edge Style, OHC, Case, EC
Vintage Fender Stratocaster, a 1979 model, with a rosewood board and hardtail bridge. The guitar is completely original, including electronics, pots and pickups, all original finish, very similar to the Edge it's late 70s Blackie. The serial number says 1979, but we all know the serial numbers for 1979 run from 1979 to 1982, this one is to date mid 1980, (29th week) The guitar is in excellent condition for it's age. There is only a faint fretwear, on the first 5-6 frets, and the frets are replaced at a certain point, The finish shows a fair amount of scratches on the back but is all in all quite nice for it's age. The guitar is well set up with a low action, and has that typical late 70s tone we all know so well from for instant the Edge and David Gilmour, The radius is 7.25" and the neck profile is medium C. It weighs in at 3.95kg what maybe considered medium for a late seventies strat. Included is a aftermarket case, if you prefer a aftermarket tweed case, you can change to that.

The Fellowship Of Acoustics, Netherlands
ABOUT US
I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand.
