The BEST vintage Strat we've had in some time now!
Goosebumps. That's what we had when we first strummed this 1971 Fender Stratocaster in Olympic White finish. The guitar has so much mojo, collected from years and years of being played and worked on. The original body finish was over-painted, later the refinish was removed by Tone Hunter guitars, revealling the original Olympic white finish underneath. The neck looks great, and is in original condition. 1 String tree of course. We were super excited to see that the tremolo is the version with the cut off edges - like the one David Gilmour has on his Black Strat (and insisted to have on his Fender signature line!). The block saddles are most likely the original ones, as Fender switched to these sometime during 1971.
Now for the Guard, pickups, pots and switch - These are all aftermarket items. Most likely from a 1990s Fender Stratocaster. The guitar came to us from the family of our dear friend Ralf Reichen (Tone Hunter), it was tweaked and worked on by Ralf and it sounds so good, we had to leave it as is. Yes, if you wish to, we can swap the guard to a pre-wired Kloppmann guard with pickups of your choice.
An aftermarket case is included, as well as the tremolo cover and back plate.
