Here we have a pre-CBS 1964 Strat—does it get much better? The neck dates to September '64, right in that golden era that many believe marked the pinnacle of Fender’s craftsmanship and design. It’s got a lightweight alder body and a maple neck, making it wonderfully resonant and a joy to play. In terms of condition, it’s factory original, with the kind of natural wear and patina people now pay to recreate. The original pickups deliver that classic tone beautifully, and it plays like a dream. Comes in its original hard case, ready to go to its next lucky owner.
