The color is Sunburst, and the weight is 4.07kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis instrument features an ash body and maple neck and fingerboard characteristic of this era. You can see year-specific specifications including approximately 41mm nut width, large headstock, two wing-shaped string guides, bullet truss rod protruding toward the headstock, three-point neck joint, and black pickguard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck date stamped on the neck end (guitars from 1972 onwards have 8-digit stamps) is \"0902 5195\".\u003cbr\u003e\n09 = Stratocaster\u003cbr\u003e\n02 = Maple Fingerboard (Neck code)\u003cbr\u003e\n51 = 51st Week (Week code)\u003cbr\u003e\n9 = 1979 (Year code)\u003cbr\u003e\n5 = Friday (Day of the week code)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pickups and wiring appear to be all original, with the pot date reading 1980. It's possible the guitar was made in 1979 and completed in 1980.\u003cbr\u003e\n5-way selector with VOL \/ TONE \/ TONE (rear ineffective) controls - simple yet refined. Parts unified in black color have a no-nonsense appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA large headstock with a logo trimmed in gold that shines, and a wide-range tone that covers the broad frequency range characteristic of that era! This Stratocaster with its 4.07kg weight, typical of 1970s instruments, truly evokes the spirit of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe frets were worn and difficult to play, so we performed a refret at our shop, finishing it with a feel like new. You can use it intensively without any concern the moment you pick it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA sound character completely different from Fender guitars currently on the market - this is a 1970s Strat. It has presence and glitters, with the maple fingerboard bringing attacky cutting and crisp single-note playing, overall leaving a flashy impression in sound.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Sunburst color finish also evokes the 1970s, and there is the characteristic rough, deteriorated paint patina on the back of the body from this era. When you touch it, it actually feels quite nice and I personally like it, but please avoid it if you're not comfortable with that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eI believe it will deliver a straightforward, beautiful tone regardless of any future replacements, and it's a guitar I can highly recommend. In recent years, 1970s instruments have risen significantly in price, and more music shops are treating them as vintage guitars. These are instruments you'll want to keep and cherish for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e【Accessories】 Fender Hard Case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e【Appearance \u0026amp; Condition】 The overall appearance is vintage-level with scratches, dings, and paint deterioration on the body, neck back, and throughout. The maple fingerboard has been refinished in connection with the refret.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e【Truss Rod】 Plenty of room\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e【Frets】 Minimal wear (Refretted)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e【Neck】 Straight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e【Nut Width】 Approximately 41mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e・If any buzzing, dead spots, or other issues significantly affecting playability are found, they will definitely be noted.
