Ft: 1974 fender stratocaster

[Steiger]

Hi guys and gals,

I have a 1974 fender stratocaster for trade

This guitar has been modified, the tuners and bridge are not original. The strap locks and Jack plate have also been replaced with brass components

The pups and pots date to 1974.

I'm looking for a telecaster of equivalent value to trade this with

Out of curiosity, what color is it?  I can't discern from the enormous photos if it's supposed to be mustard yellow, butterscotch, light yellow, or even some form of white from the lighting in the room.

I can't tell, either. But, it's got a CBS headstock so it's firewood anyway.

The photos make the colour stronger than it really is.

Under the pickguard and behind the neck plate it's a typical blonde colour. Anything outside the pickguard is the much darker mustardy colour it is now. It's like someone took it to the beach and covered it in oil.

It's a porker too, the bare body weighs 6.8 pounds/3.1kgs. That would keep the fire going all night!
