Here is Real Deal PRE CBS Bell Tone here folks. A new top of the line Fender Masterbuilt Custom Shop Strat is at the $9200 street price now days.. A little bit more your in Tone Land!
Plays and Sounds Killer*****
The neck has a slight overspray and I put a new my own stash real PRE CBS $125 decal on. Basically when I got the Strat it has 1970's Dimarzio's in it. I put new correct decal on as orig was almost all peeled off.
I put in a complete Orig 1963 Pickup Assembly.
6302 pots. That's 2nd week 1963
All 3, pickups are over 6k, Blues Tone Hot!
Bridge is 6.11K
Middle 6.22K
Neck 6.32K
All solder to pots, & 3-way is Original. Only redone sold is to output jack.
All Plastic is 1963. Complete Bridge is 63. Output jack is 63. Case is Orig to the Strat. The Body has a small start of a route in neck pickup cavity. In my opinion the body has been slight overspray in Orig Black Nitro. This Strat was a custom Color Black PRE CBS Strat when Leo built. It's what players did in the day. Spruce up body and neck. Change pickups. I filled a switch small hole in Pickguard, in between Vol & Tone control.
All screws are orig 1963. Correct nail holes and router marks present.
Look at it.. It looks Great!

Feb 63 Neck Date
Being early 63 it has the Mid 1959 to Early 1963 Pickguard screw pattern
Early Ser# L series Neck Plate # L00891
It sets up with Tremolo use of Whammy, and pretty low string height.. Plays like Butter!!!!
A 100% Black Custom Color Fender Strat be over $30,000, and not many were made to begin with...
The case is solid and has no smells etc
Again I have bought and sold maybe more Strat's than the top 10 dealers on earth. Under black light and staring at it for days now, I believe the Orig Black is under the slight overspray Nitro Black. No one all, unless you was with the Guitar the last 52+ years.
Under black light PRE CBS Custom colors don't glow yellow like Sunburst do. The glow is from the clear nitro shot over the top of the color. Fender did not shoot clear over custom colors. Again I have and had many 100% Vintage Custom Color Strat's. I priced this as a rein, but am pointing out what I think.. You won't be disappointed in this Baby!
Get out of Sunburst, and into Sum Color****
