1976 Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar - Natural (8 lb 4 oz)

Serial Number:  7668912
Weight:  8 lb 4 oz

This 1976 Fender Hardtail Stratocaster is a true player’s guitar—vintage roots with tasteful, performance-driven modifications. Originally finished in red, it’s been stripped and refinished in natural, showcasing the wood grain and giving it a raw, organic aesthetic. The hardtail bridge offers enhanced sustain and tuning stability, while upgraded USA Custom Shop pickups (likely Texas Specials) deliver punchy, expressive tone with classic Strat clarity.

An Alembic Blaster clean boost circuit has been installed for added output and tonal flexibility, making this Strat ideal for both studio and stage. The neck features newer frets in good condition, ensuring smooth playability. A small pilot hole from a previously installed left-handed strap button is present on the upper horn—purely cosmetic and part of the guitar’s story. Includes a hard case with some residual smoke odor.
