Take a moment to browse our shop: Visit Our Store πΈ Product Details Up for sale is an incredibly rare and fully original 1971 Fender Stratocaster in Sunburst finish, featuring the earliest 3-bolt neck design. This guitar, dated October 1971, represents the first period of production with the new 3-bolt neck, making it a highly sought-after collector's piece. The guitar sports a stunning Alder body and a rare Maple neck with a single string guideβa feature rarely seen in the later 1971 models. The full original hardware includes a steel tremolo assembly with "Pat. Pend" stamped steel saddles, retaining the original solder joints throughout. π οΈ Condition & Playability This Stratocaster is in near-mint condition, with the original Sunburst finish showing minimal fading, and the red hue remaining vibrant. The body has a few minor scratches and dings, typical for an instrument of this age, but overall, the guitar has retained its glossy finish beautifully. The plastic parts, including the pickguard, pickup covers, knobs, and switch tip, have aged gracefully, developing a lovely patina that adds to the guitar's vintage appeal. The pickguard has a minor repaired crack near the first string edge, which does not affect the guitar's performance. The neck, with its original frets, is in excellent condition, providing a smooth and comfortable playing experience. The guitar has been professionally set up with low action, ensuring it plays without any buzz or dead spots. The original pickups, dated 1971, deliver that classic, vibrant, and rich Stratocaster tone with exceptional clarity and presence. π¨ Aesthetics & Specifications This 1971 Stratocaster comes with all the original accessories, including the bridge cover, owner's manual, tags, tremolo spring box, and even a set of strings from the 1970s. It also includes the original black Fender hard case, which is in great condition.
