1963 Fender Stratocaster in exceptionally fine condition and all original.  The only things that have ever been changed on this guitar over the years are the strings.  The pictures of the guitar speak for itself...beautiful un-faded burst, gorgeous grain to the flat-sawn neck, super clean nickel hardware.  The thing you can't experience virtually is the sounds and playability of this guitar.  It sounds, like a few '63 Strats we've played lately, stunning.  All three pickups have "That" sound you want to hear from them.  The neck pickup has that classic deep R&B/Blues tone for days.  The middle pickup channels Jimmie Vaughan's old white Strat T'birds tones (that Olympic White Strat of Jimmie's is a '63 with an Allparts maple neck) and the bridge pickup may be the best sounding bridge pickup on a Strat we've ever heard.  It reminds of the Bloomfield Strat we sold recently.  This guitar's a joy to play!  Then there's the neck.  '63 Fender's are legendary for big necks and this one doesn't disappoint.  The guitar comes with the original sales receipt, original strap, cord, bridge cover, and tremolo arm all in the original white Tolex case.  All in all a classic collectable Strat.
