This is a genuine original 1959 Fender Stratocaster ser no: 40302.
It has a great history, which I think is important when purchasing
this sort of vintage guitar. We know most of the history apart
from about the first ten years of the guitars life. It was for
many, many years part of the private collection of a leading vintage
guitar dealer in the States. He professionally re-finished the
body and sold it to Howard Leese, lead guitarist with Paul Rogers
and Heart. On one occasion it was apparently used on MTV in a
video with gold hardwear installed for the session. Howard traded
it in for a 59 sunburst Les Paul with a dealer and through a friend
it came to us. This guitar is a player as well as a collector’s
item. The body, as already mentioned, has been professionally
re-finished in Lake Placid Blue with a gold anodized pickguard.
Pick-ups, bridge, knobs, switch tips and pick up covers are all
original, but pots, cap, pickguard screws and backplate have been
replaced. The neck is all original and dated January 59 with newer
Kluson single line machine heads. The back of the neck has been
played smooth or had the lacquer beautifully buffed to satin,
no staining on neck but not re-finished. Very cool and unusual
neck shape, sort of flat V, like 59’s had, fits the hand
like a glove rather than a club. The guitar is a beautiful 9.9
condition, plays lovely, and is just stunning, it comes complete
with a black Fender 60’s no-logo case.
