Rare super cool early 1963 Fender Stratocaster featuring original Custom color Fiesta red finish. Well documented history going back to 1973 when it was first brought over to Sweden. The previous owner stopped playing in 1979 but keept it for sentimental reasons until recently, which is also why the guitar is in such pristine condition for it’s age. All original hardware including original frets. The neck is dated december 1962 and feature original decal and finish. The pots are dated January 1963. original switch and pickups. Unfortunately the guitar had a minihumbucker in bridge position and a different pickguard in the 70’s. When we got the guitar we replaced the pickguard with an original mint green nitrate guard from a refinished 1962 stratocaster we had in the store. Comes with it’s original brown Fender hard case.
