1957 Fender Stratocaster refinished in an aged Blonde. The guitar news about this guitar is it originally started life as a 1957 Blonde Stratocaster with a 1 piece Ash body (this combo was a big upcharge originally and a rarity). I got this guitar from the original owner who at some point brought it to a repair man that probably didn't know much about vintage guitars at the time. It sounds like the guitar had some kind of grounding issue and he replaced most of the wiring on the inside with newer cloth wiring (including the pickup leads). The good news is that all the components remain original: pickups (one rewound by Tom Brantley recently), pots, switch, and jack. The following pieces are also not original: pickguard, pickguard screws, capacitor, bridge mounting screws, backplate screws, 1 intonation screw/spring, all saddle height adjustment screws, and 1 jackplate screw. The backplate, covers/knobs/switchtip, bridge assembly (saddles, bridgeplate, block, claw, springs), neckplate/screws, and tuners/screws are original. It has also been refretted and the decal is likely replaced when it was refinished. Comes with its original tweed case in good shape. I do not have the tremolo arm.
