Description

1960 Fender slaboard Stratocaster with a refinished body. Looks like the paint on the body was done a long time ago. There evidence of a prior refin, or two, before this one. This guitar's been played quite a bit and has that worn feel that makes for a great player. The slab Brazilian fretboard was planed to a 12 inch radius prior to being refretted and having a nut replacement. All that makes this guitar easy to play and a piece of cake to bend strings on. The neck's a bit on the thin side like most late '60 through '61 Fender necks are. All three pickups have that great early '60s sound to them. This is a wonderful sounding Strat. It comes in its original brown Tolex hardshell case
