Description
The 2002 Fender Classic Series '70s Stratocaster in Natural follows the standard format of the era, built in Mexico with an ash body and one-piece maple neck. It retains the large headstock, bullet truss rod, and 4-bolt neck construction associated with the '70s style, along with a 7.25" radius and vintage-style fretwork.
This example has been modified with a mirror metal pickguard and a full set of replacement pickups. Both the neck and middle positions are fitted with Duncan Performer HR101B-PF Scorcher bridge-model pickups, while the bridge position uses a Seymour Duncan SLSD-1B Lil' Screamin' Demon. The control layout remains standard with 5-way switching, master volume, and two tone controls. It has been professionally inspected and set up.
Please note- the photos where the face of the guitar is shot straight on were shot with black paper to avoid odd reflections- hence it's dark appearance. It is a highly reflective, chrome pickguard.
