Here’s a lovely Fender Stratocaster in Natural finish from 1973. The Stratocaster was an instant hit when introduced in 1954 and has stayed popular since then.
This good-condition example from 1973 features a natural finish, mostly original hardware and has been refretted so it plays really well.

Fender produced the Stratocaster with two bridges, the iconic and very popular ‘synchronized tremolo’ bridge and the optional ‘hardtail’ fixed bridge. The hardtail model was never as popular as the trem model, and so there are a lot fewer of them around.

We’re taking a tour of a Fender Stratocaster trem setup and now in Part 3, we’re going to go through the rest of the action adjustments. These adjustments are a normal part, but not all of a setup; for now we’re not going to look at the electronics.

The 1960 strat was an exceptional instrument, and it’s clear from this reissue example why the design has remained basically unchanged. This guitar is in excellent condition and the greatest visible wear seems to be on the volume control numbering.As a Custom Shop model, the wood selection is a bit better and the neck’s maple has a fair amount of tight curling. The body is light yet resonant and overall the guitar is comfortable and attractive.
