1963 Fender Stratocaster Sunburst
Couldn't load pickup availability
We acquired this 1963 Fender Stratocaster in original Sunburst from Rose in Boca Raton, FL, who inherited it from her late husband. He had played in bands and gigged regularly before giving it all up after they met. Rose recalls that this Strat was his pride and joy, never leaving its case once it was tucked away under their bed for decades. Thanks to his care and devotion, the guitar remains in remarkable condition. A true time capsule and one of the cleanest examples we've ever encountered.
Measurements: 7.7 lbs / 3.50 kg total weight. The neck measures 1.68" / 42.6mm wide at the nut, 0.82" deep at the first fret, and 1.01" deep at the 12th fret. The neck pickup reads 5.58k ohms, the middle reads 6.27k ohms, and the bridge reads 6.11k ohms.
Originality: Replaced 5 way switch. Cavity shielding was previously installed which was removed.
Playability: Very good! The neck is straight, the truss rod functions as intended, and the electronics have been cleaned.
Included: Original hardshell case, original strap, original bridge cover, old packs of strings, Martin guitar picks.
Fine Print: All guitars ship via FedEx Priority Overnight for domestic sales or FedEx Priority International. I offer a 48 hour approval period beginning on delivery for all sales during which you are welcome to opt for a return. I do not charge a restocking fee, but any non-refunded payment processing fees, outbound shipping, and return shipping costs are subtracted from refunds in the case of a return.
