We at Lowe Vintage are pleased to be able to offer this incredible blonde Stratocaster for sale for the first time since it was purchased new in 1956! We acquired this guitar from the son of the original owner who told us the guitar had been in a closet since 1968 or thereabouts. This guitar has EVERYTHING original down to the last screw on the backplate; when we took the guitar apart to inspect it, it was obvious that the pickguard had never been off the guitar. It still retains the beautiful tweed case, original cable & strap, ashtray cover, and whammy bar. This is a no excuses, first-year custom color Stratocaster...one of the nicest we've ever offered for sale!
