This beautiful Strat is one of the last of the two tone sunburst (by mid '58 Fender added red to their sunburst color for Strats) guitars made in the '50s by Fender. Check out the cool grain on it's alder body. This guitar is in excellent original condition. It features a rather extreme V profile for the neck shape and it's lightweight as well; weighing a little under seven and a half pounds. All three pickups channel classic Strat tones. There's still plenty of the original frets left and the guitar plays great. It comes with the original tweed case with red lining. The original ashtray (bridge cover) and tremolo bar are in the case.
