Condition and what is included
1978 Fender F-35 Vintage Acoustic Guitar – Made in Japan.
Well-preserved late-1970s Japanese-made Fender dreadnought with a warm, traditional acoustic character.
This Fender F-35 is a vintage Japanese-made dreadnought acoustic guitar dating to 1978. It features a natural spruce top, dark obankole back and sides, a rosewood fingerboard and bridge, enclosed chrome tuners, decorative body binding, and a traditional black pickguard. With its full-size dreadnought body and vintage Fender styling, it is a practical playing instrument with added appeal for collectors of Japanese-made acoustic guitars.
Condition
Great pre-owned physical condition for a guitar of this age. It shows some minor dents, surface scratches, light finish discoloration, and other normal signs of previous use.
No structural cracks, major dents, bridge separation, neck joint issues, or other significant damage were noted. The neck, frets, bridge, tuners, body seams, and internal bracing appear to be in good order.
Includes
1978 Fender F-35 acoustic guitar. Aftermarket padded gig bag. New sealed Fender 150XL pure-nickel extra-light string set. Not included: Original case, paperwork, strap, picks, tuner, or additional accessories.
