Fender Stratocaster (1979) w/ Kahler Style Tremolo

In the shop we have a really cool '79 Fender Stratocaster that was modified in the 80s with a Khaler Style period correct Tremolo. Rock on!

This strat was originally a hardtail, as evidence from the string-through holes. Aside from the Khaler install, the guitar is totally original, pickups pots and all. 

Its obvious this guitar was well loved and played. The clear coat has been played through the fretboard and the neck as a whole has taken on a darker color. This is the kind of stuff custom shops cant replicate; one thing they wouldnt have done it smooth over the edges of the headstock. We guess the original owner wasnt particularly fond of that 70s appointment.  The frets have definitely been worked  but have life to them before a refret. The dates and signatures in the neck pocket check out! There are plenty of dings, to be expected from a guitar this vibey. 

This guitar has plenty of wear from the years, as well as some wonderful swoopy checking. Its a really rad guitar. It weighs 9.25lbs and does not include a case.
