1975 Fender Stratocaster Vintage Electric Guitar Blonde, 100% Original w/ Case
Up for sale, a 1975 Fender Stratocaster in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. With a rare Blonde gloss finish over the ash body, U-shaped neck profile carve, and gray bobbin pickups, this Stratocaster offers a potent and full-bodied midrange with great sustain, weighing 9lbs 6oz.
The trio of flat-pole gray bobbin single coils excel at delivering a sparkling, snappy range of tonalities: the bridge pickup offers bite and upper midrange presence, the middle pickup has a certain honk and percussive chime, and the neck single coil has a smooth, detailed tone that's ideal for solos and lead work. This Stratocaster benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Blonde finish has excellent transparency and very limited aging of the clear coat, highlighting the grain of the ash body. There are two areas on top where the finish reacted (likely to a strap) with wear through the clear coat and to a very small degree down to the bare wood, just beyond the pickguard at the waist and above the bridge. Cosmetic wear is otherwise limited to a few minor marks and some faint buckle scuffing central to the back, largely constrained to the trem cavity cover. The gloss on the neck profile is clean and smooth.
The original black tolex hardshell case is included.
