This is a genuine 1973 Hardtail Fender Strat... cost £195 in a winter sale (was £235 rrp then). Couldn't afford the Trem model as was £265. This was left unwanted as was a) Hardtail, b) no trem c) natural finish.
I saved up my paper round and Sat job money and sold my first guitar (AVON SG) for £40 - oh and my Gran died and left me 50 sovs...
Anyway... didn't even come with a gig bag! but I still have the cardboard box... and strap... and grey fender lead... and booklet...

Nice Strat, one of my passions which bring back many good memories.
Many of the dealers around my way held onto the case's and sold them separately if you were a teenager or had come into the shop with your parents (to sign the finance agreement). They wouldn't tell you there was no case until they either had your money or had the signed agreement.
In the mid 70s when I was 14, I worked every morning at weekends to buy my Strat. I remember just accepting the sales guys lies and walked home with a new strat in my hand with no case, not even a bin liner.
That's how we did things back then, all meek and mild. Today I would give him a weird look followed by the middle finger on my way out.
