Vintage 1959 Fender Pre-CBS Stratocaster Body!

This very early 1959 Strat body is incredibly resonant and a fantastic "project" body that you don't see on the market very often. This is the type of tone-wood you'd expect from 1950's Fender Alder - light and resonant - incredibly crisp and aggressive when played at louder volumes. There's a reason SRV and guys like Mike McCready gravitated towards these old Strats - the bodies vibrate like no modern guitars do!

This killer body was professionally refinished in Fiesta Red many years ago in a very accurate and period correct fashion. It appears to originally been a Sunburst finish, as you can see remnants of the original finish in the neck pocket, as well as the original body date which was taped off during the re-fin process and dates to January of 1959 (1/59). The refinish process preserved the contours nicely - no over sanding on this one. The original ouput jack and jack cup are included (new cloth wiring has been installed) as well as the original strap buttons. The ever-important Pre-paint-stick "nail holes" are present as pictured. This body was very well taken care of and was never the subject of any additional routes or funny business. There are a few extra pickguard holes from a previously installed newer guard. There is a small repair to the top jackplate screw area (visible only when the original jackplate is removed). Just pure, killer pre-CBS goodness.

This Strat body came to us with all original parts: the 1/59 maple neck, neckplate, tuners, pickups, pots and plastics are available in our other auctions.

DON'T MISS THIS ONE!!
