  • Description: This is a great playing 1959 Maple Neck Strat® that is priced right. It's worn for a good reason, it sounds and plays fantastically. The action is very smooth and even, and it plays great all up and down the fretboard. Perfect refret by Terry Mueller, the fretboard looks perfect. I've had this for 13 years, it's a great guitar. Middle pickup is rewound by Lindy and is a ca 1962 PU. Neck and body dates of Feb 1959. Case is original but is rough and has some repair work done to it. Neck dimensions are 1st fret .790, 7th fret .915, 12th fret 1.003. Pots read 304 835, Volume pot is replaced. Has two extra pickguard screw holes under the guard from where the prior owner put a 62 reissue guard on in, now back to original guard. Weighs 7.7 lbs on a digital scale. This is one of those guitars that has a great sense of presence from being played well over all those years
