Description

This 1963 Fender Stratocaster is one of the cleanest examples to come through our shop! A slim neck profile offers lightning fast playability along its rich Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, and its original frets still have plenty of life. The plastics are in good shape, and the electronics are original except for the pickups having been replaced long ago with a set of 1964 pickups - seen by many as the pinnacle of Stratocaster pickups. Its beautiful burst is perfectly checked and only shows signs of player wear in a handful of finish dings around the edges of the body. Original back plate, screws and tremolo arm are included in the case. Get your hands on this incredible example of Pre-CBS bliss!

Includes a 60s brown Fender hard shell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
