1959 Original PRE CBS Sonic Blue Fender Strat With Gold Hardware
This Strat is all original but in late 1964 went back to Fender for a body only refinish in it's original Sonic Blue. Thus the Greenish hue you see now. Its the Clear Nitro over the finish that changes the color to a patina. Before then Leo was doing factory re finish all the time as paint would peel or chip off
And I did a refret with vintage tall wire.
1 owner all it's life, and it was played in various bands most of it's life.The owner bought this and Dakota Red 1959 Strat the same day.
Gold hardware, and yes even the truss rod nut is gold plated
The Body finish is still a 55 year old Custom Color Nitro Fender Finish on a 61+ year old Pre CBS Stratocaster. I been playing this as my own for years, no hurry to sell it as it Rocks and you just don't find many Custom Color 50's Fender Strat's for sale like the old days. Vintage is drying up, Good Vintage is even harder
