1979 Fender American Stratocaster

Description

1979 Fender Stratocaster (made in USA) This is a completely original and authentic 1979 American Fender Stratocaster. Back then there were no Standard, Deluxe, Special, etc. series — there was only one Fender Stratocaster, which is exactly what this is. First thing I will say — despite its 35-year age, the guitar has been STRIKINGLY well preserved; furthermore, it is still in completely original condition, and even comes with the original case!

1979 Fender Stratocaster (made in USA) This is a completely original and authentic 1979 American Fender Stratocaster. Back then there were no Standard, Deluxe, Special, etc. series — there was only one Fender Stratocaster, which is exactly what this is. First thing I will say — despite its 35-year age, the guitar has been STRIKINGLY well preserved; furthermore, it is still in completely original condition, and even comes with the original case! A very rare color, usually 70s Strats are natural, less often black, white, or sunburst. But in amber burst — VERY rare. EVERYTHING is original; the only non-original part is on the back where there are 6 holes for the strings — one ferrule is non-original. 5 are original, one is newer (but it does not stand out). Everything else — electronics, pickups, tuners, all wiring, etc., is all original, including even the case. There are no cracks, defects, or problems. The volume knob shorts out a little, but when the volume is turned to 10 — the guitar sounds 100% as it should, without any interference. Since it is the original wiring, I see no reason to change it, and I think that is why the previous owner did not change it either. The guitar has a VERY warm sound, with awesome bright 'glass', and a very dense midrange. Almost all 70s Strats possess an extraordinary amount of 'glass' (which is why they are loved) — but far from all are also warm in sound. This is a quite successful combination, where the 'glass' in the highs is also well supported by the warmth and 'thickness' of the sound in the mids and lows, in particular thanks to the maple neck, and of course the fact that it is a 'hardtail', meaning a guitar without a tremolo. More wood = more sound, it is a quite simple formula. So here is such a wonderful 1979 Strat in a rare color, in original condition and with original wiring, with the original case, and without any problems.
