Withdrawn 1968 Fender Stratocaster Refin
What's Hot
Resurrection of this one I just took back from Mike in px against my vintage Tele. Nothing sinister in that, this strat has simply become a pawn in Mike and I’s pursuit of our dream guitars and in all honesty this strat is a dream guitar for someone out there I have no doubt. See Mike’s ad for upto date info (correct guard has been added since I had it)

£4500 now firm and that is a very reasonable price for a guitar that would be circa £10k if it was a clean/original example which it plays and sounds identical to… I know because I had one.
Considering px trades to perhaps enable more opportunities.

I took this on as a bit of a project but life is throwing other things at me just now which need my time and money more so offering it up here for someone else. It’s an incredible guitar as is and I would recommend for any player who can live with the imperfections because it retains all the playability as well as those Jimi tones you would expect from a mint example!!
I rubbed a bit of the finish off the front as I made the decision to refinish per Jimi’s black 68 strat anyway and was certain I would be seeing the project through at that point otherwise yes, I would have done this more discreetly.
Original Parts
Neck (but with marks on front from locking nut system)
Neck and middle pup are original
Bridge pup is from 1967 and has been rewound

I have decided to consider px if that helps enable a deal with a forum member
