Stratocasters have a really bad reputation of being hot garbage in the 70s and that's turned a lot of new comers away from giving them a shot. Today, I got a 1976 Fender Stratocaster in Mocha which is a translucent brown color that is heavily associate with the 70s to give it an informed opinion.

I think these 70s strats are just misunderstood. A lot of changes happened in 1971 that made these instruments less desirable than the 60s models. This includes things like the 3-bolt neck, micro tilt adjustment, bullet truss rod, two string trees, poly finishes, heavy multi-pieced bodies just to name a few.

In today's episode we will look in-depth at a 1976 Fender Strat Hardtail and discuss fender history.
