Fender / Stratocaster / 1963 / Olympic White / Guitar
|
Just come back in on consignment. A very well worn 1963 Pre-CBS Fender Stratocaster with an ancient Olympic White body refinish! This example retains most of its original parts and features a classic chunky '63 neck profile.
Work to the guitar includes:
- Older refret still with plenty of life left, retains the 7.25" radius.
- Replaced volume pot and wires to the input jack (original input jack itself).
- Old clear nitro overspray on the neck, mostly worn off. There were other tuners installed however era correct single line klusons have been reinstalled covering the extra screw holes.
- Like many old strats someone at one point broke the tremolo arm on it. Its been drilled out a few times as shown, however an aged reproduction block will be included. It functions as is with a non original tremolo arm.
Otherwise this guitar retains all of its original plastics, and all of its original hardware minus 4 of the pickup adjustment screws. The body contours are in great shape, with no routes or repairs to the body.
All 3x original black bottom pickups remain untouched having never been rewound, and the wiring harness is stock minus a changed volume pot. The original stackpole tone pots date to the 34th week of '63.
Pickup readings are as follows (ohms):
B: 5.8k
M: 5.9k
N: 5.9k
Comes in a rough original brown tolex case, includes original backplate.
