Fender / Stratocaster / 1964 / Sunburst / Guitar
Just in on consignment from its 2nd home, a mid-late 1964 Fender Stratocaster in its stunning original 3-tone sunburst finish!
This example made its way to Australia from South Africa with its original owner many years ago, before being found in Melbourne, Victoria. Featuring all pre-cbs specs including clay dot neck inlays, a nitrate celluloid guard, and single line kluson deluxe tuners.
The ONLY changed part on the guitar is a 5-way switch, however the original 3-way switch is included in the case. Otherwise this guitar retains all of its original hardware and plastics, as well as the clean original finish having no touchup or overspray. There is some finish wear by the lower strap button, and the odd ding, however the guitar remains in fantastic condition overall.
The volume and tone pots all date to the 20th week of '64, which is consistent with a neck date of October, and the grey bobbin pickups dating to November.
Pickup readings (ohms):
B: 6.1k
M: 6.0k
N: 6.1k
Comes in its original black no logo case in great condition, includes original matching hangtag, strap, cable, tremolo arm, and photos of the original owner.
