1963 Fender® Pre CBS Stratocaster® Three Tone Sunburst, Brand New, Original Hard, $19,999.00

Incredible nice example of an early 1963 green guard, spaghetti logo, clay dot Fender Stratocaster in beautiful three tone sunburst with super clean original brown hard shell case with orange interior, original Fender strap, tremolo arm, bridge cover and Tolex hang tag. Neck is stamped 2 JAN 63B the tremolo cavity hand dated 2/63, the pots are stamped 304-6306 indicating 6 weeks into 1963 or the middle of February 1963, pre L series serial number of 96364 also the correct range for early 1963. All original, no modifications or repairs, a perfectly straight neck with a working truss rod, all original unmolested electronics, all solder joints factory original. Original sunburst finish is extremely nice condition 9 out of 10 with only minor small dings and scratches. The low milage neck reflects almost no fret wear and just the beginning of some lacquer wear on the back of neck edge, otherwise pristine. Large but very comfortable neck definitely much larger than some slightly earlier slab board production. Well within the pre CBS range retains many early characteristics we've come to associate with early Fender Stratocasters. Fantastic collectors grade investment, but also a great playing and sounding guitar especially for those enthusiasts that prefer large necks. A fantastic opportunity to own a great example of a harder and harder to get guitar. Only $19999. Thanks, VGA
