1982 Fender Stratocaster Olympic White Vintage Guitar 100% Original w/ Case

Up for sale, a 1982 Fender Stratocaster in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original molded hardshell case. With an ash body and maple neck with a U-shaped profile carve, this Strat offers great natural midrange punch, tight low end cut and great treble sparkle via the trio of flat pole alnico magnet pickups. The pickups are notably jangly and sparkling, particularly at the bridge and the “in-between” settings on the five-way switch, which yield a slinky quack and cut. The neck pickup has a fuller bark and a broad, smooth treble response. This Stratocaster weighs 10lbs 12oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
