This Fender Stratocaster Natural, has an Ash body with Maple neck and was built during 1977 in Fullerton California and with a few period modifications – a brass nut and saddles, and EMG pickups.
During the 1970’s and 1980’s, many players sought new ways to customize their instruments for new sounds and capabilities, and this led to the proliferation of third-party parts and pickup suppliers. Many have come and gone, to be replaced by others. This guitar has two brass elements from the period – Mighty Mite brass Strat saddles and a brass nut of unknown origin – there were many makers of these. The original pickups and electronics are replaced with an EMG set. The other hardware appears original.
Overall this Fender Stratocaster Natural is in good shape and good playing condition with moderate wear to the finish on the fingerboard edges and relatively light wear to the body’s finish. Fret wear is also light; at the time, Fender used a fairly small fret wire.
Sold with its original hard shell case.
