1973 Fender Stratocaster Hardtail Vintage Guitar Mocha w/ Case
Tonewoods include an alder body and a maple neck with a rosewood fretboard, delivering a unique resonance and punch with an array of traditional ā70s 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 āin betweenā positions on the switch delivers honky quack. This Hardtail Stratocaster has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mikeās Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Mocha finish exhibits light scuffing on top, faint buckle rash central to the back, and some minor marks consistent with use. There are also a few small touched-up dings along the body perimeter. The gloss on the neck profile is smooth to the palm, with palm wear along the shoulders and a few shallow nicks on the profile length.
