Fender Stratocaster - Black with Rosewood Fretboard 1979

edwetenhall

£1400

Pickup from High Wycombe, Bucks.

Beautiful example of a late 70s Fender Stratocaster in fantastic condition for being almost 40 years old. 

Everything original except for the bridge which was replaced with a period accurate raw vintage set. Comes with original shell case as well as inspector tag, warranty card, serial number accurate owners manual, two string sets from the period, original jack cable, original extra tremolo springs. Recently been informed that this one is actually a slightly rarer model, as most from the period were produced with a hardtail bridge.

I'm selling this guitar because taking this out on small venue tours worries me too much and I can't justify keeping it just for studio use sadly.

Up for exchanges / part exchanges on the right guitar. I'm looking specifically for 60s reissue Stratocasters with rosewood fretboards (No partscasters please) or a Rickenbacker 620 in fireglo / Montezuma brown. Happy to take a look at anything interesting of similar or higher value too.
