FENDER Stratocaster, made in the USA in 1978. A genuine CBS-era model, manufactured in Fullerton, California, with an Ash Black finish.

An authentic CBS-era Stratocaster, recognizable by its large headstock, vintage Fender logo, 3-bolt neck plate with Micro-Tilt adjustment, and substantial ash body.

* Hand-selected and imported by us *

Very good overall condition for its age, featuring a beautiful natural patina that really highlights the ash grain. Naturally, there are signs of use—this is a "player's" guitar. Frets are in good condition: 6/10 (see photos for details).

It delivers the classic character of late-70s Fender Stratocasters: a snappy, precise, and dynamic sound with plenty of attack, bright highs, and a strong midrange presence.

The intermediate positions provide that famous Strat "quack," while the neck pickup offers a rounder, warmer tone. The ash body contributes excellent definition, sustain, and projection. The tremolo block is original, though the previous owner upgraded the saddles to carbon ones, resulting in a more precise, crisp attack (the original 6 steel saddles are included).
