This 1956 Fender Stratocaster in Sunburst is a remarkably well-preserved example, showing modest wear consistent with its age but retaining a clean, honest look. The finish has held up beautifully, with rich color and subtle checking that give it just the right amount of vintage character. It remains almost entirely original, with the only changes being a professional refret and a replacement nut—both done to keep it playing cleanly without compromising its integrity. The soft “V” maple neck feels smooth and broken-in, and the original pickups deliver that classic mid-’50s Strat tone: clear, dynamic, and full of life. A great-sounding and exceptionally maintained piece of Fender history. Comes with the OHSC.
*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.
