Fender made the headstock larger, changed the bolt-on neck to a three screw with micro tilt adjustment capability to change the neck angle, bullet style truss rod, and a \"Thick Skin\" polyester finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of the major hardware on this guitar is original. It shows moderate fretwear due to it's age with grooves throughout the frets, but still has life left and plays well after a setup and the nut filed to accommodate the fretwear. The pickups are the original gray bobbins with a 3-way control switch. The master volume knob, switch tip, master volume, and neck tone potentiometer have been replaced and has a period correct capacitor. It has a true vintage Strat sound without a reverse wound middle pickup or the in-between pickup positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall this guitar is in very good condition for its age, and has expected finish and play wear including: scratching, chips, scuffs, heel cracks, and impressions. It is ready to show off its vintage vibes on the stage, in the studio, or as a collector's piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial #: 576516\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Material: Alder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Sunburst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Polyester \"Thick Skin\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: Narrow Spacing Black Dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod: Bullet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Schaller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Joint: 3-Screw with Micro Tilt Adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: Fender Gray Bobbin with Staggered Pole Pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: 3-Way Switch (Position 1; Bridge, Position 2; Middle, Position 3; Neck), Volume, Neck Tone, Middle Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Hardshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 7lbs 11oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eFor this item, returns accepted within 3 days of receiving merchandise.
