Description

This 1960 Fender Stratocaster carries the kind of history you can feel the moment you pick it up. Finished in the rare and beloved) Fiesta Red and spending most of its life in Hawaii, it shows substantial flaking and wear—honest evidence of decades in a warm, salty climate. There’s a softness to the edges and a natural fade that recalls the era when Hank Marvin first brought this color to life onstage. The guitar has the sort of presence that makes you imagine the hands it’s passed through and the music it’s weathered.

Our in-house repair team performed a thoughtful refret to bring back the playability without disturbing its character. The neck is perfectly worn-in with million dollar playability. At some point, the middle pickup tone pot was also replaced with a 1961 pot, and there are a few spots of darker red paint touch up, but otherwise this guitar remains true to spec. Plugged in, it offers a lively, open voice.

Custom Color Stratocasters this early on are hard to come by, and this one has all the character and decadence you could ever want.

Includes Fender brown tolex hard shell case.
