This is a STUNNING original 1955 2 tone sunburst Fender Stratocaster + OHSC that is a bargain price because of a complete refinish and a few issues. Included is the correct centre pocket re-issue case.
Guitar features an amazing one piece ash body that is all original apart from the refinish, no routes etc. Original neck has also been completely refinished and there are a couple of plugged holes in the headstock (see pictures) the reason for which remains a bit of a mystery.
Original pickguard is included but a repro one is on it at the moment and original does have a truss rod scoop and some extra holes. Tuners are mid 60’s Kluson double lines.
Electrics are mostly original with the exception of a 5 way switch and the volume pot. Original pickups have been out then spliced back in again. Knobs are repros but pickup covers appear original bakelite. Bridge and trem block is original but saddles are repros.
Neck date is 9-55 and both tone pots date to week 33 of 1955. The original pickguard is cracked in a couple of places (see pictures) and has a few ends broken off. Guitar is woth a fortune in spares alone but I cannot bear to part out such a nice guitar so grab it while you can!
Yes, this doew have it’s issues but VERY RARE to see a classic, one piece ash 1955 Strat for this amazing price It plays well and sounds brilliant and I am sure the new owner will not be disappointed.
