1959 Fender Statocaster
This guitar is in excellent condition and is nearly 100% original. There have been no repairs or alterations to it with the exception of replaced pickups. Currently the guitar is fitted with Fender 57/62 Strat pickups, which sound perfectly Stratty and meaty. We can't say why the originals were replaced, and the guitar's owner was unaware of the alteration, and the pickup covers are original to the guitar. All the other electrical components are original and untouched. The finish is in excellent condition as well, but with a spot of buckle rash on the back, and a small case-rash on the treble horn. Neck finish is perfect, with virtually no wear. Frets show light to moderate even wear but are quite useable, and the in-shop set up feels just right. Weiging in a 7lbs, 4oz, this is a perfectly balanced lightweight guitar. Although not pictured with the guitar, the original trem arm is included.
With original brown Tolex hardshell case (first year issue)
