1974 Fender Stratocaster - Near Mint! 3-Tone Sunburst w/ bridge cover, tremelo bar, OHSC

Description

Bay Area Vintage Guitars is proud to offer this exceptional 1974 Fender Stratocaster in 3-Tone Sunburst, serial number 570104, in outstanding 99% all-original condition — complete with original hang tag, bridge cover, tremolo bar, case candy, and hard shell case.

A beautifully preserved example weighing just 7.8 lbs, this Strat delivers classic mid-’70s clarity and snap. The maple neck measures 1.62" at the nut, shows minimal fret wear, and plays effortlessly.

The electronics are correct and original, with 1974-dated pots and pickups, producing the articulate, glassy Strat tone this era is known for. The only update is a professionally installed 5-way switch for modern versatility.

Condition is excellent with only a few light dings and minor belt-buckle finish worming on the back — not through the finish.

Includes original hard shell case, hang tag, and case candy.
