1957 Orig 2-57 Fender Stratocaster
V Neck Profile
7-1/4lbs
Professional & Famous Owned!
Right from the start. This 1957 (early 57) 2 Tone Fender Stratocaster Plays Perfect. Sounds Better!. It intonates dead on. All screws for bridge adjustment turn freely. The Neck is Arrow Dead Straight. MUCH room for adjustment of truss rod in or out. You Re String this Strat, it turns up Quick and stays in one. Sign of a Great Vintage PRE CBS 59+ years old. 3rd year of the Fender Strat. These ARE NOT all over to buy. The 1950's and mostly a V Neck 1957 are Gone. Dried Up..
Neck and Body old Nitro refin, 30+ years ago
Most original neck finish is under the re fin/ overspray
The neck has bee re fretted with Med Jumbo Frets, and has a compound radius done to it. SRV and ALL Pro Players have this done. Neck is orig 7.25" at nut and slowly goes to a lead bending joy 9.5" radius at heel. Edge of frets are smooth, polished and much meat left. The Bone nut is made PERFECT!
It has the original PAT APPLD early single line kluson tuners. As you see on front side of headstock it looks like other bushings on once, but the holes have not been bored out of any signs of other tuners ever one. Look at pictures. I also want to say, I know I take many pictures and some mite see as overboard. I see it as I enjoy filming Old Fender guitar's, and I hide nothing and show every inch of what your buying. No surprises buying from me. Can you say that about All other internet online dealers????
