The guitar is mostly original aside from a tasteful Fiesta Red nitrocellulose refinish by Paul McNab or Paulman Guitars in the early 2000's, which is starting to check and age beautifully. Paul also resprayed the neck and face of headstock in a clear nitrocellulose, whilst still preserving the original headstock decal. The guitar features a set of aftermarket gold Kluson single-line tuners and have tarnished in parts, leading us to believe these were added early in this guitars life. The original frets are still present, and remarkably show plenty of life remaining. The original electronics are all present, with the pots dating to 1962 - the bridge pickup was recently rewound to original specification, using the original pickup wire. Further images of the guitar are available upon request. What's Included:1962 Fender Stratocaster in Fiesta Red G&G Black Hard CaseOriginal Tremolo Arm
