FS/FT - 1978 FENDER STRAT
Hello All
I recently acquired this strat in trade on the forum having wanted to own a slim necked 70’s strat for a very long time. However I’m finding it’s not really getting a look in next to my Tyler and as much as I love having a such a lovely guitar on my wall, it’s not destined to be a keeper… As such I’m putting it up for trade/sale (details below mostly taken from previous listing)
1978 Fender strat:
Neck is original and in very good condition for age. Frets have a lot of life with very little wear. Shape is skinny 70’s. The string trees have been upgraded to rollers.
The body is original but stripped back and finished in Nitro. The bridge pick-up cavity has been routed, possibly by Fender, possibly aftermarket. Either way it’s professionally done.
The hardware is all original, as is the guitar case. Electrics and pup’s are early 80’s and although Fender did mix and match around this period, are likely not original.
It weighs in at 7.2lbs and is nice and resonant. Plays really well and the action can be set extremely low. Everything works and adjusts as it should.
Happy to move it on for what I got it for - £1500 sale or £1600 trade
Trade wise, I’ve always wanted back a Greco SA550/700 trapeze that I once owned. Alternatively I’d be interested in 330 style guitars. I also like Suhrs and Musicman guitars, MacMull… try me (medium neck profiles only please)

Thanks for the interest. I like the Junior, but not what I’m currently looking for…
I’m more into Jazz boxes than Gretsch /Duesenberg style guitars. That said, do let me know if I’m missing something and if it does indeed cover a smoother, thicker jazz tone?
