SOLD - Fender Stratocaster 1973 Sunburst Hardtail

No sales tax for customers outside California.

Here's a 1973 Fender Stratocaster that weighs in at just 7 pounds, 4 ounces, thanks in part to the hardtail design.  It is great to get a 70s Strat with a rosewood fretboard too - no nasty fretboard poly lacquer!

There are two changes to note: the Sperzel tuners and a 5-way switch.  Thankfully the person who swapped the tuners picked Sperzels and not Schallers - the selection is less impactful on the headstock. 

Everything else is original.  There is no funny business under the hood - no changes to the body.   

This is a great playing guitar with full frets and a nice neck.  I always forget how good a hardtail Strat sounds.  They don't come around so often, but they're always rad.  

Included is a nice, modern Fender G&G case.
