This 1966 Fender Stratocaster is a true vintage gem, radiating the allure of a bygone era in music history.
Finished in the original 3-tone sunburst nitrocellulose lacquer, this Stratocaster sports a Brazilian Rosewood fretboard with Mother of Pearl dot markers.
The internal cavity has been shielded with a gold lining minimising unwanted noise and interference. A 5-way switch has been installed, offering a wider range of tonal possibilities for the modern player. However, the original 3-way switch has been included in the case, allowing for a return to the guitar's original configuration if desired.
There are two small holes drilled under the bass E tuner, but nothing further. Original Double Line Kluson tuners are still present with no loss of wood. The volume pot has updated solder.
Despite some minor modifications, the guitar retains much of its original hardware, including the pickguard, bridge, tremolo bar, bridge cover, and plastics. The rear cover bears the marks of time with cracked corners and a missing screw.
In summary, this 1966 Fender Stratocaster is a remarkable playing instrument that embodies the spirit of vintage Fender craftsmanship. Whether you're a collector, a player, or simply an admirer of fine instruments, this Stratocaster is sure to captivate your imagination and inspire your musical journey.
