50’s style Stratocaster

sstylestratocaster.jpg

Fender Stratocaster in Fiesta Red with a single ply white 11-hole pickguard. The neck is Mexican but the guy I bought it from could shed little light on the guitar's history. The bridge is stamped Fender, the pickups have level pole pieces and it plays and sounds very 50’s. It has shades of Hank Marvin’s very first ‘strat’, which he used to record and perform all his early hits.
