Black over Olympic White. 7 lbs 12 oz Light Weight. Cool Light Weight refin’d 1973 Strat. Refinished Black over Olympic White. Pots are WD’s. 5 Way Switch not original. Neck plate is from a 1975-76 Strat and is not the original plate or serial number. Pickups are original and sound fantastic. Neck has cool Steer Head Inlay. Original tuners were off and are back on now. Slight work above the nut was locking nut on and off. Has custom made stainless steel vintage Fender re-creation saddles. Or I can put the originals back on instead. Front finish looks fine. Spot on rear where previous owner tried to sand out a scratch and found the Oly White underneath. Butt ugly under the pickguard, with multiple layers poorly applied showing. Bridge original but no trem bar. I think the pickups are the original 73’s. Fender changed Strat pickups to non staggered pole pieces during 1974. So it’s possible they could be early 1974’s. I think it’s unlikely. I have picture files that show that 1970’s Fender Strat pickups date code can have the year number sometimes on the left, and sometimes on the right. If it’s left, then they’re 73’s. If it’s right, then they’re early 74’s. Either way, it’s close, and the pickups sound really good. Original frets have some wear, but still play fine. Back of neck has a definite U shape to it, not slim but with a little depth. A very spanky 1973 Strat. Fender USA Molded Hard Plastic later 1970s Case included. As always the item will be exactly as described and pictured. Call Paul at 401 722 5837 for more info. 7 lbs 12 oz Light. CALL PAUL IN RHODE ISLAND. AT 401 722 5837.
