Now in Stock: Fender stratocaster 1960 Sonic Blue

Custom options/Upgrades/Remarks:

First of all, this guitar is a exceptionally sounding vintage stratocaster, with that impressive vintage tone quality only found of an on in vintage strats. That said, this rarely seen 1960 slabboard Fender Stratocaster shows a few changes, first it's refinished to Beatles style Sonic Blue. Body and neck date back too 1960, neck says early 1960, body shape is consistent with 59-60, the hardware and pickups are hard too date exactly but are consistent, pickups are original black bottom pickups, Pots date 304-63-38, meaning 38th week for 1963 and are changed and so it the pickguard that is a 63 original greenguard also. The Sonic Blue finish shows lots of vertical weatherchecking the way you would expect from an old Stratocaster, but the lack of contrast with the colour under the Pickguard makes it a refin as do the filled nailholes that are still visible. The Greenish guard is in great condition except for the famous screw-crack, obviously there has been another one on this guitar in the past, but it's changed back, the tuners are double line klusons, original vintage stratocaster but from 63 onwards,  Neck finish is original, but a lot of it left the neck over time. With 3 very good sounding black bottom pickups, good low weight of only 3.2kg, very nice medium size C shape neck, nice thickness rosewood slabboard-fingerboard with newer frets. As said and i have to repeat that, this is an exceptional sounding 1960 Stratocaster. if you are not into spending 30K+ and up for a custom color vintage 60 stratocaster, this might be your guitar. With original browncase!
