It’s not everyday you get to play an original pre-CBS custom color Stratocaster! 1964 Fender Stratocaster in its original custom color Lake Placid Blue finish. Totally original and well preserved, this has to be the shop favorite at the moment. Brazilian rosewood fretboard, mint pickguard, and the LPB finish is still super vibrant. Neck date reads “2MAY64B” and pot codes all read “304-6344” dating them to the 44th week of 1963. All three pickups sound amazing! Super smooth and clear with plenty of output. There are markings under the guard on the body as well as the word “photograph” written in the neck cavity which lead us to believe this guitar was used for a trade show and or for a photo shoot shortly after it was built. Overall in excellent plus to near mint condition less some finish checking, a few minor dings and some slight yellowing of the finish on the bottom of the body. Comes complete with a blonde ’63 case, but is more than likely what the guitar original came in. Also included is the original bridge cover, trem-arm, hang tag and strap!
