Fender / Stratocaster, Vintage, Daphne Blue / 1960 / Guitar
|
Fender stratocaster (1960) Daphne Blue, Original Case,
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 1959-60 slabboard Fender Stratocaster shows a few changes, first it's refinished to Daphne Blue. Body and neck date back too 59-60, as does the pickguard, 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 pre-CBS black bottom pickups for sure, Pots date 304-63-38, meaning 38th week for 1963. The Daphne Blue finished 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 original Greenish guard 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! Consignment sale.

The Fellowship Of Acoustics, Netherlands 
ABOUT US
I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
