What makes this guitar special:  A killer sounding hardtail Strat with an ultra cool, true vintage vibe to it.  Finished in Olympic White that has aged nicely over the years & turned into more of a cream color.  Original grey bottom single coils deliver gorgeous, bell-like tones that seem to ring for days.  The only mod is the original 3-way selector switch was swapped to 5-way, but the original is included with the guitar!Cosmetic Condition:  Good, honest play wear, just the way we like 'em - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches, weather checking & some finish wear.  The Olympic White finish has yellowed over the years & shows off some nice variegation throughout.  Overall the guitar has a great look to it with a beautiful patina.Neck:  Nicely rounded maple neck with "skunk stripe" & black dot inlays.  The bullet truss rod is loosened all the way, but there's still a bit of back bow in the neck.  The guitar is playable, but not quite as precise as a brand new Strat or one with a perfectly straight neck.  That aside, the neck is very comfortable & still quite playable.  Oversize headstock with double string trees.  Headstock decals are very clean with no bits missing.  F tuners are in perfect working condition.  1 5/8" nut width; 25 1/2" scale length.Body:  Contoured, solid alder body finished in Olympic White.  Hardtail, string-thru bridge with adjustable saddles.  3-ply white pickguard is in great shape with no cracks & has aged nicely over the years.  Guitar weighs 7 lbs 3.9 oz.Pickups:  Original grey-bottom single coils all date to '75.  Bridge - 5.17K ohms; Middle - 5.80K ohms; Neck - 5.66K ohms.  Master volume & dual tone controls with white skirted knobs.  Two of the knobs have faded quite dramatically, but all appear to be original to the guitar.  As previously mentioned the original 3-way selector switch was changed to a 5-way, but the original is included with the guitar.  Pots date to '75 & all electronics are in perfect working condition.Case:  Fender plastic injection mould hardshell case included.  The case has some decals on the outside, but is in good condition otherwise.
