Fender\u2019s Lead Series was launched in 1979, largely as a response to the wave of high-quality, lower-priced import guitars. The idea was straightforward: a USA-made, no-nonsense solidbody with a hardtail bridge priced to sit below Fender\u2019s established models. The series had a short original run (roughly 1979\u201382\/83), which is part of why these don\u2019t show up every day in.<\/p>\n
This 1981 example is a Fender Lead II in Wine Red with a maple neck and black pickguard. The Lead II layout is all about practicality: two single-coils, a 3-way pickup selector, and the extra phase switch for the out-of-phase sound when you run both pickups together.<\/p>\n
The guitar has standard playwear for age, plus some interesting lacquer checking around the edges that is often seen on these. Frets are approx. 90%. Weight is 4100g. A big plus is the included original hardshell case (unusual for these) and the original manual.<\/p>\n
