Fender - Stratocaster - 1976 - black finish

Features:
- black finish
- maple fretboard
- white pick guard
- larger CBS-era headstock
 
Use:
- Studio: unsure
- Live: Used often. This seems to be The Edge's main Strat for live use. Seen on the Elevation tour for 'Where The Streets Have No Name', 'Bad', All I Want Is You'.
 
Details: I am not 100% certain of the year of production on this guitar. I have heard both 1974 and (mostly) 1976.
