Description

This 1954 Fender Stratocaster is an excellent example of an early production Strat. Beautiful ash body with a killer two tone original finish. The neck is kind of a U, almost V, shape and on the slightly larger side. The shoulders are dressed away on the neck perfectly though so it doesn't really feel big when you play the guitar. Speaking of playing, this guitar has had a recent refret at Carter Vintage and it plays perfectly. It sounds great with all three (expertly rewound) pickups bringing classic '50s Strat tones. The guitar's been refretted, the walnut strip that fills the truss rod cavity has been replaced as are the pickup covers (originals in case) and the volume knob. The guitar comes in its original tweed center pocket case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
