An incredible example of a 1961 Fender Stratocaster featuring an 8/61 neck date and a 7/61 body date. This Strat is near stock with an excellent refret and a new nut for an updated feel with an ideal response up and down the neck which sports a classic medium "C" contour topped with a slab of Brazillian Rosewood. Cosmetically it displays typical wear for a loved and played workhorse guitar with checking, finish wear, dings, and a missing pickguard corner that was scrappily tacked back down with a screw and a washer, which we love. It is super resonant and the original pickups sound incredible providing the perfect dynamic range for iconic Strat Tones. This is a superb example of Fender’s golden-era craftsmanship and a true relic! Includes non-original hardshell case.

The Fender Stratocaster, debuted in 1954, stands as an iconic electric guitar renowned for its sleek design, versatile sound, and innovative features. With its contoured body, three single-coil pickups, and tremolo system, the Stratocaster has left an indelible mark on music history, spanning genres from rock and blues to pop and beyond.
