Vintage 1980 Fender 'The Strat' NAMM Prototype
VINTAGE 1980 FENDER 'THE STRAT' PROTOTYPE
This guitar is extraordinary in that it was the first one made, the prototype (Serial #E) created for NAMM 1980 was never intended for sale, thus no standard serial number. It was also the guitar photographed for Fender print advertising that year. It was purchased new at NAMM by an authorized dealer and has remained in the dealer private collection since then. It exhibits some handling wear, minor dings, but no player wear. This was on display behind glass in a showcase for decades and has never before been offered to the public. No tremolo arm and includes a Fender hardshell case. This is 1 of 2 prototypes, the other being the rosewood fingerboard version which was sold.
