1970 Fender Stratocaster

For your consideration, Garrett Park Guitars presents this 1970 Fender Stratocaster.

Among the last four-bolt Stratocasters produced, this example is a true case queen. The finish is vibrant and glossy, showing modest wear consistent with careful handling over the past 50+ years. While the pickguard is a modern replacement, all other factory components are intact, including the original pickups, electronics, and frets. The result is a Strat that delivers the articulate highs, glassy chime, and dynamic response that define the model, with the added appeal of complete originality for collectors.

This Stratocaster comes complete with its original hardshell case and tremolo arm, further enhancing its appeal as a well-preserved and highly collectible vintage piece.
