Fender Stratocaster 1969

Fender · electric guitar

This entry covers a 1969 Fender Stratocaster with no specific documented owner attached. By 1969 the Stratocaster had moved fully into CBS-era production, carrying a larger headstock than earlier decades, a three-bolt neck plate with a bullet truss rod adjustment, and pickups generally wound a touch hotter than the pre-CBS examples from the mid-60s and earlier. Guitars from this specific year sit at a transitional point that collectors view with more mixed regard than earlier pre-CBS Strats, since the larger headstock and three-bolt neck joint are often considered a step down in build tightness from the four-bolt construction used before.
