Some regular wear- dings and scratches, and neck tone k**b cap is missing (see pictures) but no cracks or headstock breaks. Original pickups and electronics, no mods.

For neck thickness we measure .80'' inches at the 1st fret and .88'' inches at the 12th. Nut width is 1.68'' inches.

Rhythm pickup is 7.50k Ohms, Treble pickup is 7.58k Ohms.

Rare find that we don't see everyday!

Vintage 1961 Fender Stratocaster, Refinished - Dakota Red, with Original Hardshell Case

#63532, Neck Stamp 6-61

Very clean pre-CBS vintage Strat with Rosewood fingerboard. Some wear - dings/scratches, yellowing of pickguard overtime, wear on back of the neck, but overall clean and solid. Body has been refinished at some point. The nut is mostly intact, with some parts chipped off. We believe all parts are original, we've taken it apart and taken pictures of electronics and neck stamp. It is playable, and sounds incredible through a nice Fender tube amp.

Weight is 7.5 lbs.

Comes with original hardshell case.

This is a consignment, LOCAL PICKUP ONLY. Preferred payment by Cash/Bank Transfer.

Call, message, or email us for more information.

Open to offers. We'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
