Fender Stratocaster, 1979 Hardtail in natural wood finish, relatively light Ash body, with rosewood fretboard. This is a great stock Fender guitar, industrially built, and despite Fenders 1970s quality issues this is a great machine. The guitar plays very well, all the standard chrome hardware operating, as it should, the electrics work flawlessly. The finish has yellowed slightly is due to ageing giving it a satinwood appearance. Great looker and a killer player, as you would expect from a classic fender guitar. The wood on the neck has also aged to a rich colour resulting in a similar dark satin finish. In all a very playable and guitar oozing mojo.

Here a Vintage  1979 Fender Stratocaster  in Translucent Red. The Archetypal Fender  Stratocaster Guitar, solid as a rock and around since 1954, heavy as hell but a sound to die for. One of my best 1970s Fender guitars and, apart from replaced saddles, all original, factory fitted. Defo one of the best vintage  strats kicking around. Very responsive guitar and easy to play. Lovely light red coloured  finish. Lives in original Fender hard-case.

In 1979, Fender celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Stratocaster (introduced in 1954) with its first “anniversary” instrument, and the first Fender Guitar to be issued in a pre-determined and numbered, limited quantity. A small run of 500 or so instruments produced were finished in Pearl White. However, due to the instability and excessive checking of the finish, many were recalled and re-finished in Porsche Silver or Gold (though Fender refers to it as “25th Anniversary Stratocaster Silver”), the colours that were used in the rest of the early production runs. So here we have one of these second series in fair condition.

Here a Classic Fender USA guitar, a Tobacco Sunburst Fender Stratocaster electric guitar. Great 1979 vintage guitar and a classy looker with its slightly aged finish. The typical 1970s 3-bolt neck with glossy maple fretboard. The guitar has seen minimal use. Guitar plays easy and all the electrics work well. Here we have an cool Strat with only minor genuine play wear and patina. You won’t find many like this in such a great nick. The finish has beautifully aged and the neck has a lovely finish, the paint of the neck has aged and checked worn off in some of the played areas. So here we have a very collectible rock machine with ounces of mojo and a great vintage feel to it. Guitar lives along with its original hang tags etc in its moulded Fender Case.
