1964 Fender Stratocaster - Sunburst

Serial L36630

The 1964 Fender Stratocaster pictured is finished in a 3-color sunburst and has the typical features associated with the first half of that year.  These include: a maple neck with a separate rosewood fingerboard, clay dot inlays (replaced later that year 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).  1964 was also the last year to see a greenish celluloid pickguard (replaced with white plastic by 1965).
