1963 Fender Stratocaster - Blond

Serial number L19865

The 1963 Fender Stratocaster pictured is finished in the custom color Blond (with Ash body instead of Alder to showcase the grain), but otherwise has the typical features associated with that year.  These include: a maple neck with a separate rosewood fingerboard, clay dot inlays (replaced in 1964 by slightly larger pearloid dots), and a small headstock (until 1966) with the original “spaghetti” Fender logo (replaced by a “transition” logo decal starting in July of ’64).  The three pickups and controls are attached to a greenish celluloid pickguard (replaced with white plastic by 1965).
