Gorgeous and light weight 1956 Fender Stratocaster with alder body, just like Clapton’s “Brownie”

The guitar is in excellent, all original condition with unbroken pickguard and bakelite parts. The solder remains untouched with the original 3 way switch still in place. It has some slight black marker touch up around the edges and the first owner “Don” put his name in the upper Horn with stickers which left outline marks on the finish.

The sound is just spectacula. Woody and dry with a lot of twang as you’d expect from a guitar of this pedigree. The soft V/C shaped neck plays like a dream. The original frets still play fine but if you intend to use this guitar frequently, a pro refret and a new nut might be a good idea.

This guitar has it all and if your looking for a 50s maple neck stat it would be a shame to not check this one out.

Comes in original case with original bridge cover and trem bar.
