Vintage guitars for sale: 1961 stratocaster

This is a wonderful player-grade vintage slab board Strat. Sounds and plays wonderfully. I hate to sell it but I need some dough and decided to keep my Tele as I play it more. I'm not a vintage expert so I'll relay what I know about this guitar (I've also posted a copy of the appraisal I had Gruhn Guitars do last year for insurance). I bought this guitar about 20 years ago from a dealer at a Los Angelesguitar show. The original finish remained present on the body but it had beenover-sprayed with... more

1961 Fender Stratocaster
This one needs a little explanation. My vintage Fender guru told me what the weird stamping on the body actually means. I bought this guitar a long time ago and was told it was a 1961 with new pickups and bridge installed in the 80??s, The PO told me the original pickups had already been changed out and the pots were toast so he installed grey flat bottom pickups and new pots so he could ??sound like Jimi??. I took the pickguard off and to be honest thought that I ... more
