1966 Fender Stratocaster Sunburst, Very Good, Original Hard, $8,750.00

When CBS bought Fender in 1965, they didn't do very much to change the product line on day one but over a fairly short period of time, they started making changes-none for the better. By 66, the only significant change to the Stratocaster was a bigger headstock which, rumor has it, was done to make the Fender logo more readable on TV. And yes, they went to the grey bottom pickups which some players prefer but overall, CBS really didn't wreck the Strat for a few years (although I think the F tuners-which this doesn't have-are total crap). Prices are reasonable for Strats right now and I think its a buyers market. There is some arm wear on the guitar but the color is bright and its all original. I have the term arm (not in the photo) and a vintage back plate if I can find it. Case appears original.
