1980 Fender THE STRAT Candy Apple Red Matching Headstock Vintage Stratocaster 1980-1983!

Here is a nice player-grade Fender THE Strat in the earliest version. The guitar has normal wear and tear but is still a solid guitar and can be enjoyed for decades to come! The guitar has newer pickups of similar Fender USA type, pots and switches changed so it's more like a standard strat. Your normal strat layout. The visible parts are all there including the gold knobs, Fender trem, etc. We think the neck plate is newer. The finish is the original Candy Apple Red with matching headstock! Such a cool-looking guitar that is such a unique piece for Fender at the time. Comes with newer hard case. Get a roughly 45-year old Fender Strat for a lot less than the reissues!

Weight: 10.4 lbs.
