Stratocaster con manico datato dicembre 1965, con palettone e transition logo, potenziometri Stackpole datati 32ma settimana '65, n. di serie 112xxx e data tre pickup 7 Gennaio 66 scritta a mano. E' quindi una delle primissime Strato con la paletta grande, probabilmente uscita dalla fabbrica agli inizi del 1966. Condizioni eccellenti, solo pochi segni di urti e usura, e leggero checking. Finitura in ottime condizioni. Meccaniche Kluson deluxe double-line, ponte con sellette Fender Pat-Pend. e leva tremolo originale, selettore a tre posizioni. La custodia in Tolex nero è in condizioni altrettanto buone (realvintage.it)
