Excellent condition, 100% original except for a recent refret (no fret wear) and the rubber pickup bushings (the originals in a plastic bag in the case) and a couple of the height adjustment allen screws in the saddles replaced (the old one were probably corroded and broken). body date 11/57, neck date 3/58, pots date 304723 (23rd week of -57), including original tremolo arm, the neck plate has a different serial number on the inside (-24622) which we have seen many times before on 50 s Fenders, Weight 3350g (7,38lbs) Very rare color, and this one is a resonant as we have ever experienced, sustain for days! Including original tweed hardcase of the type that was only used during a few months in -57 with a small Fender badge in one corner and the knuckle buster clasp under the handle. Wow, a true show stopper! Nice and light, resonant body and great neck, if you are serious about your Strats you don t want to miss this opportunity to own one of the finest vintage Fenders on the market!
