Post-1971 hard tail -- missing a string tree and in desperate need of a refret (or at the least a fret dressing if enough "meat" remains).

Thanks Arjay

Based on the neck stamp it's a '75. All other features puts it at that year also, ie 3 bolt neck, no serial number on headstock, etc.

Danandliz, sorry about the serial number...I missed a digit when I checked my reference book , but then that is why I asked for pics, they always help with trying to identify a date.

And after viewing the pictures I would agree the date being somewhere between Sep 73 to Sep 76, based on the serial number, and features of the guitar. Set up right and (possible refret) this could be a great playing guitar.

FWIW

Thanks very much and for taking the time everyone!
This forum has been great!

Does anyone know if there is any value in the guitar as is? - if I were to sell it I mean?

@T2Stratman: No worries Thank you all the same

Oh and just to clarify, I'm not trying to sell it on here

Not to worry..We would not permit it. Se prohibido. Glad to have been of help.

That looks like a well-loved 1975 Strat!

I hope you string it up soon.

Is it 100% original?

My other guitar is a Strat.

A hanging for a Fender Stratocaster. A travesty, to say the least.
