SOLD: 1966 Fender Stratocaster £7250

jimmyguitar

I'm contemplating selling my original 1966 Fender Stratocaster as I have my eye on a '62. It's completely original bar a brilliant refret (and new bone nut) recently performed by Charlie Chandler's and it plays and sounds stellar. More pics on the way. The case is original to the guitar, it's an import case as the guitar was originally bought in Switzerland.

super cool

Nice.  

Wonder how easy it'd be to convert it to a 2-point trem...

It could do with a 12-string neck fitting and converting to a wide necked 6 string as my fingers are really sausage-like. A locking nut and floyd rose would definitely finish it off nicely...

Sure there's a bloke we know could do that.....

That can't be a "real" old strat, we all know they should look like this?

There's far too much paint on yours.

It's a lovely looking guitar, GLWTS
ps it's not my birth year and I can't afford it either

marantz1300

That would be perfect alongside my 69 Custom.

Beautiful guitar and I do love the '66 headstock!

jimmyguitar

Bump! Sell a kidney, sell a granny! Honestly, come and try it and you'd consider either of those options.

mykewright

My birth year AND month. I can't afford it either....

This is more money than I've spent on all the cars I've ever bought.

And how much were the cars worth a few years down the line? This is not just a guitar but part of the history of an absolutely classic design, a masterpiece even. Priceless in my view and a steal at this price

Thanks mate, although I'm spending every waking hour trying to figure out a way of keeping this and getting the '62! Not possible on my humble earnings sadly...
