This 1982 Fender Dan Smith “Gold on Gold” Stratocaster is a unique and highly recognizable model from the short-lived Fender Collector’s Series of the early 1980s. Originally referred to as the Gold Stratocaster, this model is now best known as the “Gold on Gold” due to the combination of its gold-colored body and fully gold-plated hardware. A striking and now highly sought-after version, it was produced for only a short time, from 1981 to 1983.

This Stratocaster was introduced as part of the early Collector’s Series and is one of the most distinctive models from the Dan Smith era. As with several Dan Smith models from this period, the emphasis is more on traditional Stratocaster specifications. For example, the guitar features the smaller Stratocaster headstock with a more traditional CBS-era Fender logo design. The neck does not have a bullet truss rod, but rather a traditional truss rod adjustment at the heel. The most distinctive feature is, of course, the original gold hardware.

This guitar features the highly sought-after CA serial number, characteristic of the Collector’s Series, gold hardware, a 4-bolt maple neck with a maple fingerboard, a comfortable Soft “V” neck profile, and three X-1 high-output single-coil pickups.
