Description
Lovies guitars is offering up the Holy Grail of guitars here. A one-owner, All original, Golden Era, 1957 Fender Stratocaster in 2 tone Sunburst with original Hard Shell Case. This guitar was purchased in 57 and owned by one person/family until now. Here is your chance to grab this Stunning 57 Stratocaster in fantastic conditon with all orignal parts as it was from 1957. Finish is beautiful and original. Not even much fading under the pickguard. Just some standard checking and a few minor finish marks as to be expected. Still one of the cleanest 1957 Stratocasters you will ever see. Even the case is in prestine conditon with just a few marks and stains. Rare, to say the least. And lets talk about the sound! Good night, this is what dreams are made of. It has a silky, thick, and lucious sound while maintaining some really nice piano like chime. No reissue can produce this magic. Working and playing perfectly. Frets are oliginal with just some minor diviots in the first few frets. No issues or fret outs here. See tons of HD pics on our site, included internals. This is one I have considered just keeping for my personal collection so please no offers, I would rather just keep it. The ’57 Strat has taken its place alongside the ’54 in desirable years of collectability.
It is said that the “V” neck profile is the most pronounced on the ’57. It is also the neck Eric Clapton will choose for his infamous “partscaster” known as “Blackie”. Plastic parts would soon begin to replace the older Bakelite stuff, and life is good. Neck Date: 8/57, Body Date: 7/57, Pots date 23rd week of 1957. These Original Golden era Stratocasters are getting almost impossible to find. Great investment and a great piece of history.
