{"product_id":"strat","title":"Fender USA Stratocaster, Black (1979)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFender USA Stratocaster, Black (1979), with Black Scratchplate and Maple Neck. If you're a fan of Pink Floyd\/David Gilmour, this might be the guitar for you! All original except for the replacement black nut visible in the photos. Wear consistent with its age, frets in great condition, ask for more information!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA legendary instrument frozen in time. This 1979 Fender USA Stratocaster in classic black is a masterpiece of American craftsmanship—the golden age when Fender's CBS era gave way to renewed sonic excellence. The three-single-coil pickup configuration delivers that iconic shimmer and bite, perfect for everything from blues screams to atmospheric textures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginal hardware, authentic fretwork, and the unmistakable weight of vintage construction make this more than a guitar—it's a portal to decades of studio sessions, stadium gigs, and late-night inspiration. The body shows its age with character; the neck plays like silk despite the years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor collectors, tone chasers, and those drawn to the darker chapters of rock history, this is the real thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePLEASE NOTE!
