This guitar is a fantastic example of the “Surf guitar” days. It’s a late 1962 example with typical thick, “curved” fingerboard and has a sound that will blow your mind. While the finish is undoubtedly done in the mid 60s we can’t say it was done inside the fender factory, as the majority of these sparkle finish were done outside Fender’s walls. Nonetheless this magnificent guitar still has its original frets and parts, the only solders ever touched up are the lead and the ground of volume pot, while all the connections between the original 3 way CRL switch, pots and pickups are factory, and every part on this guitar is original. In neck pocket some finish has been removed to show what was underneath and wood grain looks like Ash. So this is quite the looker and a fantastic sounding guitar. Comes with original brown tolex case and tremolo arm.
