1979 Fender Stratocaster. Hardtail.
Ash body, maple neck, maple board, skunk stripe, bullet truss rod, big headstock.
3-bolt neck, nice tight fit, w/ microtilt.
Body was professionally refinished in black (thin skin poly) by John Carruthers, a well-respected SoCal luthier. The contours were also reshaped to '62 specs.
Recently pro-refretted with Dunlop 6100 med-jumbo frets.
I've got a set of 12s on it, and they play like 10s with those frets.
Upgraded with Callaham bridge, D. Allen 69 Voodoo pickups
PIO NOS tone cap
CTS pots
Switchcraft jack
Original Fender hard case
