  • Description: This pre CBS Fender® Stratocaster® was probably originally sunburst with a natural colored headstock. But somewhere in its life the body and headstock were painted orange. It was a very professional paint job with lots of attention to detail. This guitar features a contoured alder body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard with clay dot inlays and 22 frets, creme 3 ply c-b-c pickguard, original Kluson Deluxe tuners, original tone pots, and chrome hardware. Two dates can be found on the guitar: the butt joint of the neck is stamped 2OCT64Ba and a handwritten note on the back of the pickguard has the date 11/12/64 and the initials, LG. The parts that are not original include a volume pot was been moved and resoldered, the bridge saddles have been replaced, the bridge pickup and possibly the mid pickup were replaced with Fender® pickups. It has been refretted, and Schallers have been installed. There are a couple small dings and some cracking in the finish. All alterations were made before 1989 when we acquired the guitar. It comes with a new hardshell case. Additional photographs can be requested by serious buyers.
