Here’s a potent brew of elbow grease, vintage tone, and honest play wear. This 1963 Fender Strat has seen some miles, and then some, in its almost 60 years of music-making. The finish appears refinished in the 1970s and now quite worn, and the neck has a lovely combination of velvety finish at the back and worn smoothly down to the wood on the sides. Our repair folks have gone over this one with a fine tooth comb, in the process replacing the frets as well as fabricating a new pickguard from scratch and relic’ing it to perfectly match the Alder body’s play wear and patina.
It plays like vintage, grass-fed butter, with juicy tones to match
