The Vintage Modified '70s Stratocaster® delivers the distinctive look of 1970s workhorse Fender guitar along with modern features that enhance playability and sound. Vintage-accurate appointments create an authentic look and familiar feel while the updated pickups and electronics help you unlock your personal sound.
This particular guitar has a few minor marks on the pickguard, and a scuff in the clear coat of the finish near the bass horn that requires direct light to see. There is a small white speck in the finish on the top, and a scuff in the clear coat near the lower bout. Aside from what we have described, this instrument is in mint condition.
How Does It Play?
We would love to put this Stratocaster in your hands. We have given it a thorough professional setup here in the shop to dial it in and bring the action nice and low without buzz. It does everything a good Strat should, and feels great in the process!
A new Guardian Cases hardshell case can be added to US orders for $75 or to international orders for $95.

Josh Ingram has been in the music instrument retail business for over 12 years. He has also worked steadily as a professional touring musician based right here out of Nashville, TN.

Our Process
We hand-pick all of our inventory. Nothing is purchased sight-unseen. We know what it takes to make a guitar gig-worthy and a joy to play, and those criteria drive the choices we make when picking out an instrument for you!
But we don't stop there. We thoroughly check every instrument brought into the shop. Each one receives a full setup as needed, ensuring that it reaches you playing easy and sounding its best. Adjusted truss rod, correct saddle height(s), perfect nut slots, smooth fret ends and no high frets. You get it all!
