Product information

The almighty hardtail Stratocaster - Tele-like in its attack and punch but with the classic finesse and tonal variation we all know and love.

We're gonna get right to the point here - this 1974 Fender Stratocaster hardtail in its original Black finish has just plain got it. Great weight, comfortable neck carve, excellent sounding pickups... and in a hardtail format?! This is the Strat for Tele players!

Stealing a bit of the "Blackie" look here, we can't help but appreciate how a factory Black Stratocaster looks against a Maple neck. When it's met with that crisp, powerful tone that Strat pickups deliver when combined with hardtail construction, you're able to really coax those tele-like sounds out of the guitar.
