An absolutely stellar example of a transition-era Strat, this 1964 Fender Stratocaster is 100% original from top to bottom. It checks every box for what you'd expect in a late-’64—right down to the gray bottom pickups, transitional decal, mother of pearl dot inlays, and original 3-tone sunburst finish.

This one is in very good condition with honest wear and no breaks or repairs. It includes the original no-logo black tolex case, bridge cover, and tremolo arm. You don’t see complete examples like this come up often—especially ones that sound and play this good.

The original pickups are strong and clear, offering the glassy highs and woody mids that make a great vintage Strat so inspiring. Neck profile is a classic mid-’60s C—fast and comfortable, with a great feel all the way up the board.

This guitar has been thoroughly inspected and professionally set up by our in-house technician, Jordan, to ensure it’s playing its best from the moment it arrives.

If you're after an investment-grade vintage Fender that also delivers as a true player’s guitar, this is the one.
