1961 Fender Stratocaster - Sunburst

Serial number 60492

The 1961 Strat pictured is finished in the classic three-color sunburst (red was added to the two-color sunburst in 1958) and has the typical features associated with that year.  These include: a maple neck with a separate “slab “rosewood fingerboard, clay dot inlays, and a small headstock with a “spaghetti” Fender logo decal including two patent numbers.  It has the usual greenish Nitrate 3-ply pickguard with a metal shielding plate underneath (replacing the one ply white guard in 1959).
