| Other features/info | The classic look and sound of the ‘70’s! The Modified 1973 Strat is an ash body, maple neck and fret board, 3-screw bolt-on with micro-tilt adjustments, 3 stacked single coil Dimarzio pickups (Virtual Vintage DP401, DP402, DP403) and a 5-way blade switch. It features a U-shaped neck with a skunk stripe and Sperzel locking tuning machines. This guitar plays and sound phenomenal. It is the perfect blend of vintage and modern. The natural finish has a beautiful patina and there is some belt buckle wear on the back to prove that this guitar has been loved and played. There is some Fret-wear but id does not affect the playability. The ‘73 Strat comes with a molded hard-shell case, strap and cable. Serial number 420457. |
