SOLD - Fender American Vintage ‘56 Stratocaster
What's Hot
Hi!
2 tone burst American Vintage Stratocaster for sale but might be interested in anything vintage for some sort of trade.
This one is a case queen that’s never been gigged or left the studio. It stays in its case so as a result their are no bumps or scratches to the body or neck that I can see.
Comes with the official tweed case, all the accessories (leather strap, ash tray cover, spare retro 3 way pickup selector etc) and paperwork :-)
These are generally considered some of the best, maybe the best avri’s ever produced. Certainly the most true to the original ‘56 Stratocaster. Certainly better imo than the 50’s & 60’s reissues that are currently out.
I sold my custom shop strat as I preferred this but I think after owning so many different strats I’m just stratted out and as a result I’m going down a completely different route guitar wise but this was the best of the strats I’ve had. It’s well loved and well cared for. I’d love for it to go to someone from this great community :-)
Feel free to come try it out. I’m fairly flexible regarding negotiating various aspects of any potential deal. I’m based on the outskirts of Cambridge. I can post anywhere in mainland uk.
£1625

Better than cs is a bit of a daft statement. I would say they’re better at feeling like old guitars, now that some have aged for 10 years, than cs, most of which have modern radius and frets. Many people prefer modern specs and of course the custom shop can make a guitar with vintage specs for you. Without doubt, they’re the best production guitars that fender made since the golden era and probably more consistent than golden era guitars.
You are right, my mistake
