Not a bad deal

This looks seriously like a good deal. 1977 Strat - Sunburst, R10 000.

+1. Also the finish is not a Fender and the burst on the headstock is also wrong. Let me not start on the hardware - very little is original. Oh yeah - the '70s three-bolters were mostly dogs anyway. ?

Were they making Fenders in Japan by then? If so I'd much rather have one of the Japanese strats. If I wanted a strat of that vintage.

No Japanese-made models until the early '80s.

Oky -1 for me. I thought the headstock was just really old :-[
