1961 Fender Stratocaster for Sale

This near mint/excellent condition 100% original 1961 Fender Stratocaster in Sunburst finish, and what a finish it is. Such a rich full red finish with an artistically perfect burst against that green guard. This ‘61 is the pinnacle of what a Vintage Stratocaster should be.

When I first held this guitar in my hands, I could tell it was special. I plugged it into a 1958 Fender Bassman amp and was literally stunned, as though I entered a time portal of the timeless original Fender sound. If you have been searching for that sound, this guitar has it. A collector grade vintage Stratocaster that is fairly priced and in my opinion will only continue to appreciate in value.

A very well preserved 1961 Fender Stratocaster made in early 1961, with clay dots, green guard, and original frets with no real playing wear.

The body is very clean and in near mint condition with a beautiful three tone sunburst finish with only a few dings, mostly on the back. All original pickups and pots. The color is a rich, deep, unfaded sunburst, with no finish checking and almost no fret wear. Includes tremolo arm, bridge cover, strap, cord, the extra springs and a rare original 1961 Fender catalog. Includes original brown case.

The early 1960s pre-CBS Fender Stratocasters were some of the best ever Fender Stratocasters ever made. This guitar is like a trip back in a vintage guitar time machine to the early 1960s. This ‘61 Strat has the sound, look and feel of everything I would want in a vintage Stratocaster. Call or Message for Price. *SOLD*
