FENDER STRATOCASTER Fiesta Red, 1966 |
|
 |
Rare custom
color, 100% original and in exceptionally fine
condition. Finish shows only a little wear on the
lower side, but it is all there, with no other dings or cracks. There is a very light checking on top
(just a few
lines beneath the bridge), and a little more on back. We
purchased this guitar from the original owner, who had it
for 35 years: it is absolutely 'uncirculated', and new to
the vintage market. Large headstock, gold transition logo
with some trace of wear. Checking on front and back of
the headstock, perfect neck with a few worn spots, and
beautiful rosewood fretboard in nice shape. Frets have
been replaced by luthier Salvatore Mancuso in 1995, and
are slightly larger than the originals but with a perfect feel. Untouched
electronics, original solderings. Neck
date reads Feb 66, pickups are dated May 66
(5.11.66), and pots Feb. 66 (304 6608: eighth week of
'66, Stackpole). Original Kluson deluxe 'double-line' tuners. Bridge, Fender
Pat. Pend. saddles, knobs, three-way selector switch, etc. EVERYTHING is
original and untouched. There is some rust on the
bridge saddles and on two or three tuners. The case
is the classic export-style 'For Fender' always seen with
instruments originally purchased here in Italy, and it is
original and in perfect shape. Fiesta Red is a rare and
very sought-after color, and I have never seen an example
in this condition! More pictures: please open one at a time, clicking the following links |
