1956 Fender Stratocaster
A beautiful 1956 Fender Stratocaster, all original and in very good condition. This was one of my personal Stratocasters for many years. It’s a fantastic example—great sounding, playing, and looking guitar. It has even been featured in much of our shop branding. The guitar has a lovely two-tone sunburst finish, with some honest wear on the body and neck.
The neck is simply outstanding: a perfect V-to-C shape with beautiful flame, dated (9/56) September '56. All electronics are original, with untouched solder joints. The highly sought-after bakelite parts are original and crack-free.
It comes in its original tweed Koylon case with red lining, along with the strap and bridge cover.
