Mary Kaye Ash Custom Shop Fender Stratocaster 1986 57’ Neck & 1987 62’ Body White

Rare 1980s Fender “Mary Kaye” Style Stratocaster – 1986 ’57 Neck + 1987 ’62 Body – Honey Blonde Ash w/ Gold Hardware

Incredible 80’s vibe

Iconic “Mary Kaye” vibe in a killer early Custom Shop-inspired build! This is a fantastic player-grade Fender Stratocaster blending vintage reissue specs: a 1986 ’57-style neck (vintage profile, likely maple) paired with a 1987 ‘62-style ash body. The neck/body year mismatch is a known factory quirk from that era nothing structural, just a cool piece of production history that doesn’t affect playability or tone one bit.

Finished in stunning translucent honey blonde (white blonde) over lightweight ash, with beautiful nitrocellulose lacquer checking that gives it authentic vintage character and eye-catching depth. Full gold hardware shines through, capturing the classic Mary Kaye look—named after the pioneering guitarist who made this blonde + gold combo legendary (think translucent ash beauty with premium appointments).

Key Features & Condition:

•  Body: 1987 ’62 reissue style, premium ash, translucent honey blonde finish with gorgeous lacquer checking for that aged, beautiful patina.

•  Neck: 1986 ’57 style—plays smooth and fast with a comfortable vintage feel.

•  Hardware: Gold-plated throughout (bridge, tuners, knobs, etc.) in good shape; tuners show some honest wear from years of use.

•  Frets: Very nice condition—minimal wear, ready for years more playing.

•  Electronics/Pickguard: Equipped with the correct ’57-style single-ply white pickguard (8-hole, installed by the original owner after Fender sent a replacement—original may have been mismatched).

•  Playability: Feels and sounds incredible—plays really nice right out of the case with great action and tone.

•  Cosmetic Wear: Very Good overall for a 35+ year-old guitar. Honest player marks including some dings, small paint chips (typical for nitro), and a minor chip on the bottom tone knob at the #10 position. All shown honestly in photos—no major issues, structural damage, or issues affecting function.

•  Case: Comes with a very nice tweed hardshell case interior is excellent, exterior could use a cleaning; all latches work perfectly.

This isn’t a museum piece, but it’s a genuine, gig-ready piece of Fender history with the sought-after Mary Kaye spec (ash body, blonde nitro, gold everything). These 1980s versions were among the first limited Custom Shop-style runs and remain highly collectible for their tone and looks.
