Fender Stratocaster, Olympic White (1974)
S-Style · SSS (3 Single Coils) Pickups · Vintage
What a looker! This '74 was purchased here at TME by its current owner nearly 10 years ago, and we are thrilled to have it back in the showroom. It's one of the good ones, people! Great weight, amazing neck profile, and just nicely dialed in for great playability and feel. Plus, it looks so good with this Spitfire tortoiseshell pickguard! This is a very clean and mostly original guitar save for the aforementioned pickguard and installation of a 5-Way switch. We sent the middle pickup out for a vintage-correct rewind done by Tom Brantley, and all else remains just as it did when it left Fullterton 50 years ago.
It still has its original tremolo arm, bridge cover, tremolo back plate, manual, and inspection card! The original hardshell case is in great shape as well.
