Fender Walnut Elite Stratocaster 1983 Fender Walnut Elite Stratocaster made in 1983. Fender started work on the designs for the Elite series in late 1981 with a research and design team that included Dan Smith, Chip Todd. John Page, Charlie Gressett and Freddie Tavares. The Elite series was meant to combine modern technologies with the classic Stratocaster design. When the Elite Stratocaster was finally released in 1983 it included numerous new features like a Biflex trussrod, wider nut and 12" radius, Ezy-Glyder string retainers and low backlash machineheads, strap locks, heavy duty cast bridge, Alnico II single coils, MDX and TBX controls and three separate push-on-off selectors (which in this case have been replaced with switches). This Walnut Elite Stratocaster was the top of the line featuring an American Black Walnut body and neck and ebony fretboard. Some of the innovative features of the Elite found their way onto the regular Stratocaster, which was again revamped in mid-1983. The Fender Elite Stratocaster also formed the basis for the design of the 1988 Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster. The condition of this instrument is excellent, very clean for it's age but not without some dings and signs of use in the finish. Includes newer hardshell case.Model Features:Body Shape Stratocaster Body American Walnut Top x Finish Natural Neck American Walnut Neck Shape C Fretboard Ebony Fretboard Radius 12" Bridge Heavy Duty Tremolo Tailpiece x Scale Length 648mm (25 1/2") Nutwidth 43mm (1 11/16") Weight 4.3kg Tuners Fender Pickups Fender single coils Travels in Newer Hardshell Case Remarks Used guitar with 1 year guarantee
