This Stratocaster, built in 1974, features a large headstock. The body is likely ash, the neck is one-piece maple, and the neck joint features a three-point mounting with micro-tilt adjustment. The frets have been re-profiled and the fret edges have been smoothed. The included tremolo arm is not an original part. The control panel on the back of the body (including mounting screws) has been removed and is missing. The headstock shows scratches, dents, paint cracks, and peeling. On the front of the headstock, the paint has peeled away around the tuning peg posts (except for the 5th string), exposing the wood, and there are some gouges and cracks in the wood. There are cracks in the finish at the neck joint, and the back of the neck has numerous dents accompanied by indentations, as well as cracks and peeling in the finish; the surface feels uneven to the touch. The body has numerous scratches, dents, and paint damage overall. There is discoloration and paint peeling at the body end, likely caused by stand burn, and the metal parts show rust, tarnish, and pitting. There are other signs of wear and discoloration, but the overall condition is good. The interior of the included case is partially damaged.
