Details:
- Important notes: one of the best playing and sounding slabboard pre-CBS strats we've had in a while (and we get a dozen or two of them coming through the shop every year). We are pleased to present this 1960 Fender Stratocaster housed in its original case. The guitar is all original save for i) a professional refret / slight overspray on the back of the neck ii) partial body-only refinish (original finish was partially stripped underneath the new one and still shows up under blacklight, especially around the edges of the body), iii) volume pot replaced with a pot from 1966 iv) two of the three knobs are repros. The guitar only weighs 7.1LB and comes with its original case, original tremolo plate cover, and original tremolo bar. Ready to be played and loved for another 65 years!
