1957 Fender Stratocaster Sunburst

This Fender Stratocaster was made in the USA in early 1957. This one shows heavy wear because it is a warrior but that lends itself to a beautiful vibe and patina. The guitar has a perfect large profile neck with a soft V shape and is exactly what you would expect from a '57 Strat neck. All of the parts are original except for the tuners and the height adjustment screws on the bridge. The tuners are correct era Kluson single lines, but this guitar did have grovers at some point and while there are no visible extra screw holes the shaft holes themselves were enlarged somewhat but then refilled and recut to accept the Klusons again properly. There is also a small screw hole on the top of treble side horn which we assume is from an additional strap button. We gave this one a great set up in the shop and it is one of the best sounding and playing Strats we have ever encountered and is super hard to put down. The guitar weighs 7 lbs and 3.8 oz and it comes with the tweed case shown in the photos which is what we got it with but the case has the wheat colored interior so is likely from 1959.
