Tech NotesThis guitar is sold As-Is, as it would benefit from a refret
Much of the old fun of 1970s and 1980s strats was the mix and match of necks, bodies, electronics, and various parts. Likely sometime around 1985, a 1978 Fender Stratocaster neck was put onto a refinished stratocaster body (4 bolt variation of unknown origin). The brown metallic finish with the black pickguard and cream parts are straight out of that era. The pickups are of unknown origin, but are in the 13k range and have wide pole pieces. It would benefit from a refret, but currently plays comfortable with a little zing to it.
