1971 Fender Stratocaster black


































Another very early 3 bolt example, "old" '50s / '60s tremolo unit with separate inertia block, single string tree, oval head bevelled pickup & switch mounting screws, neck and pickups dated Sept. 71. It is the only vintage Fender I've seen with a perfect, tight neck pocket fit. Original colour and finish, nitrocellulose lacquer checking throughout except for the back of the neck where Fender already switched to poly.
Refretted with 47104 EVO fretwire, it sounds and plays wonderfully.

1966 Fender Electric XII

















Refretted with EVO 47104 fretwire, plays and intonates perfectly, the quintessential electric 12 string guitar. In almost pristine condition except for the inevitable celluloid nitrate pickguard shrinkage.
