Vintage 1974 Fender Olympic White Rosewood USA Hardtail Stratocaster
Vintage 1974 Fender Olympic White Rosewood USA Hardtail Stratocaster
This is one of my favourite guitars we’ve had in at The Music Locker. This has been unused since 1976. We purchased it from the family of the original owner after he sadly passed within two years of purchasing this. The guitar was purchased brand new in January 1975 from Carlsbro in Mansfield, with a specific order of Rosewood / Olympic White which is rarely seen. The guitar was then gigged by him in a local band – Barabas – for under two years, and then after the passing it was left unused until we acquired it last month.
I seriously cannot explain how nice this guitar is, and how much of a privilege it is for us to own it. I have never seen another in such good condition, with only a few light marks at all. We’ve cleaned it up and it plays like a dream and sounds even better! I have dated all the parts to be correct, including the grey bottom ’74 dated pickups and late ’73 pots. He didn’t order an original hard case with this guitar, but it comes with a period correct unbranded hard case. You’ll not be disappointed! Please have a close look at the high resolution photographs below, as these form part of our description.
At The Music Locker we will do all we can for you to get the instrument you want. You’re more than welcome to come along and have a play on this through one of our vintage amplifiers!
