Classic period weight: 4,3Kg - Nut width: 41mm code FE323 Here we have an stunning example from around 1980, in original 100% condition with originl case and Tag. It features the classic maple neck and solid colour combination, in this case gloss black. It has a 5-way switch, and pickups are original. The trem arm and the almost never seen bridge cover are included in the case. This guitar also features one of Leo Fender’s innovations, the three-bolt Micro-Tilt neck joint. This radical improvement allows for very fast adjustment of neck angles and so these guitars can, unlike previous models, be quickly set up for a player’s requirements.Strong straight neck with very good frets ready to play. The finish is gloss poly, and is in excellent condition with the black pickguard on black body and maple neck offer an excellent visual contrast. The serial number is S9, which can technically break down to indicate 1979 – the letter S stands for the decade, 1970’s, and the first digit following, 9, is the year. However, there is some ambiguity around serial numbers at this time and it’s known that pre-numbered parts were used into the next year or two. This serial number can indicate anything between 1979 and 1981 here all parts are stamp 1980.
