Description

This 1978 Fender Stratocaster features an alder body finished in classic Black, paired with a one-piece maple neck and comfortable C profile. Equipped with three Fender single-coil pickups, a 5-way switch, and original F-stamped tuners, it delivers the familiar clarity, bite, and versatility of a vintage Strat. At just 6.6 lbs, it's an unusually lightweight example for the era.

This example is in good used condition with no modifications or repairs. Includes the original hard shell case.
