Very nice strat from late 1974, with beautiful grained woods, both maple that has amazing figuring and the grained ash, but even the rosewood fretboard is beautiful. Strong sound, great action, near mint condition overall.

Very nice strat from 1974, staggered pickups, lightweight alder body, Olympic white nitro-finish, original frets in quite good shape, nice sounds!!! Same specs as late '72 Malmsteen main strat, same specs as early '70's Blackmore maple strats.

Ringrazio Paolo Bassi per le foto di questa Stratocaster del 1974 natural. Per la prima volta, durante quest'anno, la Fender propone i nuovi pickup flushpoles. Da notare anche i segnatasti laterali neri che non sono più collocati tra tastiera e manico ma solo sul manico.
