Description

This 1962 Stratocaster is a largely original beauty with a slab Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and vibrant sunburst. It's an exceptionally clean example with clean tuners and a nicely figured neck. The body has been lightly oversprayed to preserve its pristine finish, and has undergone a a partial refret in the first position done by Dan Erlewine. Otherwise, it remains Fullerton-forged.

This guitar would benefit form a refret, as it does buzz in many places along the board, however due to the frets being mostly original, the owner has opted to leave that decision up to the next owner.

Includes mid 50's Fender tweed case with red plush lining. (Tremolo arm and original ash tray included in case).
