Fender stratocaster 1976 (CBS)

The legendary Fender stratocaster and the Gibson Les Paul are my favovourite guitars. The guitar shown below was made during the CBS era. It is made with:

  • Ash body;
  • maple neck and fretboard;
  • metal plate on the rear side of the body with three screws;
  • black pickguard;
  • three single coil pick-ups;
  • three ways switch;
  • weight: 3,930 kg;
The guitar has the tipical strtocaster sound of the years 70s, with brilliant tones. The finish is a typical three color sunburst. Have you ever got a guitar og this era? What about?
