Fender / STRATOCASTER / 1956 / Two-Tone Sunburst / Guitar

Another great '50s Stratocaster with all the early features, 100% original and with a killer sound. Figured ash body dated March 1956, two-tone sunburst finish, maple neck with ‘clubby’ pre-V shape dated May '56,100% bakelite parts. Original Pat. Appld. single-line Kluson Deluxe tuners. All original hardware. The black-bottom pickups fixed to the single-ply pickguard have the original bakelite covers, two of which are broken from playing wear. Also the tone and volume knobs and the trem-arm and switch tips are made of bakelite. The original circuitry shows potentiometers date February '56, paper capacitor, intact solder-joints, three way CRL selector switch and Switchcraft jack-socket. The fingerboard shows some wear, but the frets are still in decent condition. The sound is great, hot and well-balanced, with the right amount of grit you'll expect from a '50s maple-neck Strat. This exceptional guitar comes with its beautiful tweed hardshell case. For a more detailed description please see our website www.realvintage.it, 112 pictures online!
