Fender / STRATOCASTER / 1963 / Sunburst / Guitar
Pre-CBS, 100% original guitar (the only work ever done is a perfect refret job, with fresh frets and nut). Excellent conditions. Body date, hand-written in the spring-cavity, is 5/63. The neck is dated June 1963. Beautiful brazilian rosewood fingerboard with clay-dots. The small pre-CBS headstock has a clean Spaghetti logo (a few letters are gone from the Stratocaster name), and original Kluson Deluxe single-line tuners, with no evidence of other tunes ever on it. The gorgeous 'green' pickguard is perfectly intact, just like all the electric circuitry. The screw-hole between neck and middle pickup is still in the 'pre-63' position. The three black bottom pickups are original and untouched like all the electric parts (three-way switch, capacitor, wires, pots, jack, solder-joints). The potentiometers are dated February '63. Clean and original hardware, with some oxidation on a few Pat. Pend. saddles of the bridge and on the tuners, and some yellowing of the plastic parts (knobs, switch-tip, spring-cavity cover). This precious Stratocaster comes with its rare and original white tolex hardshell case. Please see our website www.realvintage.it for a VERY accurate description and 65 detailed pictures
