Early-production 1982 Fender American Vintage ’57 Stratocaster, built at the original Fullerton, California factory during the first year of Fender’s American Vintage reissue program.

This is a particularly well-documented example with matching factory identification/stickers, early Fullerton construction details, original-style hardware and electronics, and its period-correct tweed case.

The guitar has been carefully inspected and documented. The neck heel, neck pocket, factory markings, pickups, electronics, and internal details are shown clearly in the photos.

Details:

• 1982 Fullerton-built American Vintage ’57 Stratocaster
• Early V-series serial V0011XX
• Maple ’57-style neck 6-29-82
• Matching factory identification/stickers 8-30-82
• Original Fullerton body and neck
• Period-correct pickups and electronics- red bottom- 7-27-82
• Correct vintage-style tremolo and hardware
• Period tweed hardshell case
• Excellent overall condition for its age

This is not being represented as a museum-never-touched guitar; it is being represented as an exceptionally well-documented early Fullerton AVRI with strong originality and provenance.

The early Fullerton Vintage Reissues are a distinct chapter in Fender history and are increasingly sought after, particularly examples with clearly documented factory markings like this one.

I’m happy to provide additional detailed photos to a serious buyer.
