Description

Roadhouse USA:

1983 Fender USA Elite Stratocaster Arctic White Guitar-W/OHSC.

One of the nicer examples you will find from this cool series of strats that is now over 40 years old!

8.9lbs

Made for a very short period of time, these guitars were pretty groundbreaking at the time.

This one is in excellent condition and the Arctic White finish has aged perfectly to an awesome vintage creme.

A couple of very tiny impressions is about all you will find on this guitar.

Plays great, the neck is superb and the frets show little to no wear.

Comes as pictured with original case, case candy and 2, YES, COUNT ‘EM, 2 trem arms:)

Overall an extremely clean and collectable Fender Elite.

 

 

 

Overview

The Elite Stratocaster was an effort to integrate active electronics into an upgraded Stratocaster design.  While sharing many elements with a traditional Stratocaster, the Elite used a different tremolo bridge, individual push pickup selectors and EQ-boosting TBX and MDX circuits. The Elite was only produced for two years, but the later Stratocaster Plus does share some features with it.

Body Style: Double cutaway solidbody 

Years of Production: 1983 – 1984
