Description
This 1961 Fender Stratocaster is a prime example of an early '60s Strat, featuring a beautifully worn sunburst finish, a slab Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, and a lively, resonant alder body. The trio of single-coil pickups delivers the classic, bell-like chime and dynamic response that define vintage Fender tone. The slim, fast-playing neck profile offers exceptional comfort, while the original synchronized tremolo provides smooth vibrato action. With its rich history, balanced tonal character, and undeniable mojo, this ’61 Stratocaster is a true collector’s dream and an inspiring player’s guitar. Full the full repair and modification history, check out the Specs tab. Includes the original hardshell case.
