| Modifications/Repairs: | -Refret. -There is an area of wood and finish sanded off in the neck pocket on the body (see pics). This was probably done to correct6 a slightly high neck angle. -A small amount of wood has been scraped off around the worm route in the bridge pickup cavity. This may have been to allow the pickup leads more room under the bridge pickup. -Non-original five-position switch. -Non-original nut. -Non-original volume pot. -Touched up solder joints. |
| Case Details: | Original Fender hardshell case. |
| Cosmetic Condition: | This vintage Stratocaster is in good cosmetic condition with heavy play wear throughout. There is finish wear along the fingerboard from play wear as well as checking, chipping, dings, dents, and scratches throughout the entirety of the guitar. |
| Serial Number: | #027345 |
| Tech Notes: | This Stratocaster plays well with low action. The non-original frets are tall with minimal play wear. The guitar is being dated to early 1958 based on the serial number, neck pencil mark, and pot codes. It has "3-58" pencil dates on both the neck heel and middle pickup route. |
