Description
Original, not reissue! 73 USA project strat with original case with one working latch (hey, it closes!) Body heavily routed, but routing hidden with guard installed. Refinished, looks good with guard in place. Original 70s black guard included, in fair condition, and an original 70s neckplate, #67xxxx likewise. Both original tilt plates are included. Nice neck with good vintage mojo, has fretboard wear down around last frets (see picture). Lots of life still left in the frets and you can't beat the vintage look of the wear. Missing truss adjust... it's a straight neck, has a very slight upward bow that should flatten out under string tension, or get the bullet for the truss rod (you'll need it anyway) and adjust it. Obviously there's a sloppy repair just below the neck heel on the body... you can leave it as is -- it works -- or redo. This is a project I don't have time for... my loss, your gain! Please see our partner site, ebay name madjazzman, for more vintage projects... I'm selling off lots of stuff!
Please note I'll ship guitar fully insured for purchase price. Payment needs to be by Thurs night Dec 8 if you want it shipped before I am doing a meditation retreat Dec 10-17. If payment comes in later I'll ship on the 19th (no weekend shipping service available in my rural town!)
