Fender USA 1982 Dan Smith Stratocaster Arctic White “Smith Strat”

Description: Fender USA 1982 Dan Smith Stratocaster Arctic White “Smith Strat” Description Condition: Used The last original Stratocaster, Fender USA 1982 Dan Smith Stratocaster Arctic White, is a Stratocaster from the early 1980s (the end of the CBS era) when maple fingerboards and three-point joints were discontinued and the aim was to return to the pre-CBS era. This model was produced for a very short period from 1982 to 1983, and its main feature is that the large head stock that had been used since 1965 was returned to a small stock shape. It is known for being made by Dan Smith, the father of master builder Jason Smith and the vice president of Fender at the time, and is commonly known as the "Smith Strat", and has become a collector's item all over the world. This individual was made in 1982, and is characterized by a return to the origins of the Stratocaster, which had previously had three-point joints/large heads, to four-point joints/small heads, and is also the last original Stratocaster. The sound inherited from the 70's with a strong attack has a very easy-to-handle character, whether it's driven or cut with a funky sound. The condition is very good considering its age, with some scratches, but it is fully original. It is a model that cannot be left out when talking about Fender history. In the 1980s, CBS, which was in financial difficulty, turned the company around. At that time, the company reconsidered its manufacturing from scratch, and in honor of Dan Smith, who led Fender's reform, the guitar came to be called the Smith Stratocaster. This model is like the prologue to Fender's rise to its modern status as it transitioned from the 70's to the American Standard. This "Smith Stratocaster" was only produced for a short time from 1982 until the release of the "Standard Stratocaster" in 1983, and is considered a very valuable model even in Fender's home country of America.
