Used Fender Stratocaster 1974 Vintage Electric Guitar w/HSC

Fender Strat from way back in 1974! Plays well and sounds great.

Neck plate serial number indicates 1974 but it has CTS pots from 1978, probably installed with the Dimarzio SDS-1 PAF bridge pickup. Original nut was replaced with brass (mandatory for the day) and it now sports a new "aged" pickguard that looks the part.

Fender's 1974 Stratocaster is one of the most collectible guitars of the CBS era, and this vintage natural-finish example showcases the unmistakable look and feel that has made mid-'70s Strats so desirable. Featuring an ash body with a beautiful visible grain pattern, a one-piece maple neck, original-style six-saddle bridge, three single-coil pickups, and classic three-knob Strat controls, this guitar delivers authentic vintage Fender tone and feel. It is in very good vintage condition with honest cosmetic wear consistent with over 50 years of use, including finish checking, edge dings, scratches, oxidation on the hardware, and a noticeable finish blemish on the upper horn as shown in the photos. A modern Road Runner hard case is included for safe transport and storage.

The 1974 Fender Stratocaster produces the bright, articulate sparkle and unmistakable chime that has defined countless recordings across rock, blues, country, funk, and pop. The ash body provides excellent sustain and snap, while the maple neck offers a fast, comfortable playing experience that has remained a favorite of professional musicians for decades. Whether you're adding a true vintage Strat to your collection, searching for an inspiring studio instrument, or looking for an authentic stage guitar with decades of character, this USA-made Stratocaster delivers timeless Fender performance that only a genuine vintage instrument can provide.
