Lots of changes occurred in 64 that pre date the CBS sale and that seems to confuse some buyers who feel that a 64 is somehow not a "real" pre CBS Strat. The CBS deal was completed in early 65. These changes include pearl dots, white guard, grey bottom pickups and a new logo. This guitar doesn't have any of them except the logo. It has black bottom pickups, green guard, clay dots...all the same as a 63. Certain Fender colors make the Stratocaster folks weak in the knees. Fiesta Red is one of those colors. Many of the custom color Strats are pretty beat up-Fender finishes are not terribly durable. This one is stunning. Fiesta Red not cool enough for you? Check out the figure in the maple neck. It is all original with no issues. The front of the guitar looks nearly perfect. There is a section of wear on the treble side edge (mostly from the case) and a few nicks and dings on the back. Overall, a very clean original Strat. I'd call it a strong 9/10. Original no logo case is not as clean as the guitar but the case is supposed to take the knocks not the guitar.
