Very nice and comparatively light Fender<\/span><\/span> Stratocaster Hardtail from the early CBS era.
\nAt only 3317 grams<\/strong>, it is significantly below the average of many 70s Strats – a real plus in terms of playing comfort and resonance behavior.
\nThe hardtail construction ensures a direct, tight attack and a very stable tone development – focused and clearly defined response.
\nIn combination with the Grey Bottom single coils<\/strong>, the result is exactly the sound you expect: bell-like, open, with that slightly rough note that makes good 70s Strats so special.<\/p>\n

It’s a player instrument with a lot of Fender vintage charm.<\/p>\n
