The Fender Stratocaster (1976) is a prime example of a mid-1970s vintage Strat, offering the unmistakable Fender tone and feel that has defined countless recordings and performances. This example is in better-than-excellent condition, being an all original piece with no changes or issues. The frets show little wear and the neck is perfect. It was easy to get it dialed in with a killer setup. There is room in the truss rod for future neck relief adjustments. It is relatively light for a 70s Strat as well at about 8.25 pounds. Built during a transitional era, these mid-’70s Stratocasters are known for their three-bolt neck plate with Micro-Tilt adjustment, larger headstock with bold Fender logo, and the classic three single-coil pickup configuration. This particular 1976 Stratocaster comes complete with its original hard case and strap, a rare find for collectors who value authenticity. The guitar’s vintage appointments deliver everything players expect from a Strat: crisp, articulate highs, balanced mids, and tight lows. With its comfortable maple neck and timeless design, this Stratocaster remains as playable today as when it left the factory nearly five decades ago. Highly collectible and stage-ready, the 1976 Stratocaster represents a unique piece of Fender history—perfect for enthusiasts who want the mojo of a genuine mid-’70s model.
