FIRST REASONABLE OFFER & IT'S YOURS! BEST of the BEST! Free Ship... Fender History...At the end of the resurgent "Dan Smith" era, Fender introduced a new Stratocaster with only two control knobs and a input jack mounted on the top of the body for 1983 and 1984. For the Collector...Fender historians say the this is the "only" Fender Stratocaster in the history of the Fender Corporation with any notable "history to it at all! No other Strat since the early 50's had a single notable change to it...Every other Start since the inception of the Strat was all Leo! Circa (1981) Dan Smith named to "SAVE" Fender Guitars from the crappy production guitars of the late 70's, and the Fender Corp. was basically going under due to very poor sales. ...the company was hurting in a big way. Smith basically shuts production down to (Stated by competent Fender historians) 15-25 guitars per day! From about 250-350 guitars that were being ripped out of the Fullerton, CA. factory in the late 70's early 80's...Hence...the "Dan Smith" Era! This D.S Era Model was one of the very last guitars built out of the Original "Fullerton" California Factory. Dan Smith absolutely had a hand in the design & engineering of these 82'-84' built Stratocasters out of the Fullerton, CA Fender factory...these are the last guitars made in Fullerton before the move to a new factory. Besides the "Freeflyte" Bridge which is truly unique, and a real departure from the well know Leo engineered bridges since day 1 of the Strat. Without a cavity for the free float bridge of the original design...the Freefltye bridge has zero cavity & a lot of solid wood surrounding the newly designed bridge which many owners say adds a lot of sustain...the only other 2 engineering differences are the 2nd Tone knob is now the input jack, and the fret board is actually a little bit wider making it a much quicker & easier playing guitar also say many owners. The changes were made to basically save the company money, and nothing more. So, this Dan Smith Era Strat Love it or not..is real Fender History! Really Very RARE, and NOW more recently becoming VERY highly Collectible! This particular "Vintage" Strat up for sale here has barely been touched since 1983! And found chillin' in its case for the last 34 years! Hope this extra info was helpful...if you disagree with anything stated here tell it too the judge! All this info was obtained through extremely reliable Fender sources & resources...No messages will even be entertained, or replied too...All the information (PLUS) is here take it or leave it...This Guitar is Amazing! Comes with its Original HSC & more "RARE" is the "Tremolo Arm"! It comes with that also...I've seen the trem arms alone sell for upwards of $200 bucks alone...Thanks everyone!1983 "Dan Smith" Fender Stratocaster, Original Sunburst Finish, 2-Knob Version, w/ Freeflyte Tremolo System, Original Hardshell Case, "Rare" Tremolo Arm...Overall Condition...SPOTLESS! Collector & Museum quality. Any markings are due to age not wear. Made in Fullerton, CA. USA
