Fender Stratocaster 1979 USA

$3,299.00

A classic example of late-’70s Fender Stratocaster craftsmanship, the 1979 USA Strat gives you vintage sparkle and feel without being precious. It features ash body shred with the resonant snap of vintage single-coils, a bright maple neck that breaks in beautifully, and just enough rock-’n’-roll grit in its hardware quirks and aging finish. For players after that raw, authentic Strat tone, somewhere between blues and classic rock, this is one that carries heritage in every note.
