Vintage 1966 Fender Stratocaster - Sunburst, Brazilian Rosewood Fingerboard with Original Hardshell Case.

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.

There is a phony page out there (see photo) calling themselves "Wichita band instruments" and posting instruments on Facebook marketplace and groups. We've had quite a few calls already, and already more than a few people have paid cash or another method of non-refundable payment to the fake seller. This is our real Facebook site, and you can also see our web site at www.wichitaband.com, our Ebay site at https://www.ebay.com/str/wichitabandinstrumentcompany, and our Reverb site at https://reverb.com/shop/wichitabandinstrumentco.
