🔥 Battle-Tested ’70s Vibes in Killer Surf Green – Ready to Shred! 🔥

Looking for that authentic ’70s Strat tone, feel, and swagger without the museum price tag? This Made in Japan Traditional ’70s Stratocaster (Model #5359700357) delivers the goods in a stunning Surf Green finish that screams classic California cool.

This guitar captures the spirit of the golden era: a comfortable U-shaped maple neck that fills your hand just right, paired with a smooth rosewood fingerboard for that warm, articulate response. The body rocks vintage-style single-coil pickups that deliver sparkling cleans, biting leads, and that unmistakable Strat quack—perfect for everything from surf rock and blues to indie jangle and high-gain drive.

Condition: This axe has lived a real life and wears its scars proudly. It’s in excellent player-grade condition—perfectly functional and dialed in for maximum tone and playability. Expect plenty of honest battle scars: small dings, chips, dents, and scratches, especially along the bottom edge where it’s seen the most action. No major issues, no cracks, no structural drama—just a well-loved instrument that’s been professionally set up and optimized for effortless play. The frets are solid, action is sweet, and intonation is spot-on. It’s gig-ready right out of the case and only gets better with more miles on the road.

Why this one rocks:

•  Classic ’70s-inspired specs for that thick, punchy tone

•  Rosewood fingerboard for added warmth and smoothness

•  Iconic Surf Green finish that turns heads

•  Vintage-style tremolo that stays in tune and dives like it should

•  Built with Japanese precision and attention to detail

Whether you’re chasing nostalgic ’70s tones or just want a reliable, soulful Strat that feels broken-in from day one, this guitar is the real deal. It’s not showroom fresh—it’s battle-tested and player-friendly, with character that only comes from real use.

Serious players only—this one’s meant to be played hard and often.

Our Guarantee

We stand behind every guitar we sell. "Good enough" is never good enough. Every instrument is inspected, set up, and tested by multiple people immediately before shipping. We deliver the highest standard of quality and have built a reputation as a three-time NAMM Top 100 Dealer since 2009. The Dude Abides.

Neck & Setup (unless otherwise noted)

- Neck is perfectly straight with no truss rod issues.

- Intonation is spot-on.

- Professionally set up with low action and new American-made strings.

- All frets are dressed, leveled, crowned (if needed), and polished to shine like new, with no divots.

Return Policy, Restocking Fees & No Tire-Kicking Policy

We offer a 7-day return policy. However:

- You must notify us in writing within 3 days of delivery (per tracking) of your intent to return.

- Original shipping and return shipping costs are not refunded unless the guitar is damaged in transit or is significantly not as described (for example, you ordered red and got white, or a Telecaster instead of a Les Paul).

- A 15% restocking fee applies to all returns for any reason other than damage in transit or significantly not as described. Please note that a 10% restocking fee applies to orders that have been purchased and paid for and have been off the market for 24 hours or more, even if they have not been shipped or picked up by the carrier, because we perform a final setup and change the strings as soon as an order is placed and paid for. NO EXCEPTIONS.

We do our best to honestly describe and photograph every guitar and most of the noticeable imperfections. That said, we are human, and something very small can be overlooked. If tiny marks, dings, or super fine scratches (normal wear) bother you, please don't buy.

We record demo videos of every guitar before shipping to document its exact condition and performance. Additional photos, measurements, or in-hand descriptions are available upon request prior to purchase.

Minor adjustments to a setup (for example, correcting a slight buzz or a truss rod tweak) are normal after shipping, due to carrier mishandling and climate and atmospheric changes, especially when moving from South Florida to colder or less humid environments. These slight issues do not constitute "significantly not as described." Guitars must be returned in the exact same condition as received/advertised, or additional repair/restocking fees will apply.

We are a small, family-owned and family-run business, not a big-chain retailer. We invest significant time, money, and effort into every guitar. This is a NO TIRE-KICKING shop. There is no post-purchase haggling, and there are no returns without restocking fees and no partial refunds. If minor cosmetic marks, tiny imperfections, odors/smells, or the possibility of a post-shipping setup tweak makes you uncomfortable, please do not buy. Plenty of large retailers offer free trials and can absorb shipping costs; we do not.

Payment, Shipping & International Duties

- All items can be shipped internationally. The buyer is fully responsible for all import duties, taxes, and customs fees.

- We accept PayPal, PayPal Credit, Affirm, and other major payment methods.

- Most U.S. shipments are sent via UPS or FedEx with full insurance, tracking, and signature confirmation. All packages are professionally packed for maximum protection.

International Shipping Note

International shipping prices shown are for most countries; certain countries have higher costs. We try to avoid USPS and mostly ship UPS, but in certain situations USPS is the only available or reasonable carrier. Express services (UPS, DHL, FedEx) are always available. We can't undervalue merchandise, as it could not be properly insured. If you would like to discuss different options, contact us by email or phone for a personalized quote.

Thank you for considering The Guitar Dude. We look forward to earning your business and delivering a guitar that exceeds your expectations. Contact us anytime for questions, consignment inquiries, layaway details, or a personalized shipping quote.
