1973 Fender Stratocaster Hardtail Vintage Guitar Mocha w/ Case

1973 Fender Stratocaster Hardtail Vintage Guitar Mocha w/ Case

Up for sale, a 1973 Fender Stratocaster Hardtail in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. Lightweight at 7lbs 6oz, this Stratocaster is an uncommon iteration with string-through body construction and a gloss Mocha finish, produced during the first year this particular finish was available.

Tonewoods include an alder body and a maple neck with a rosewood fretboard, delivering a unique resonance and punch with an array of traditional ā€˜70s Strat tones. The trio of gray bobbin single coil pickups feature staggered pole pieces, offering a distinct sound in each position on the three-way switch. The bridge has a snappy twang and bite, the middle pickup has a certain honk and percussive clarity, the neck single coil has a smooth, yet detailed tone that's ideal for solos and lead work. Cheating the ā€œin betweenā€ positions on the switch delivers honky quack. This Hardtail Stratocaster has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
