I've got the same guitar, but mine was made 2 months later than that one with serial # V014799. Mine has the name "Torres" on the bottom of the neck where the date is located. I bought it in 85 and it I've worn the finger board down over all these years but at it plays like butter!

How a young guy like you was able to set up a shop like you have with so many expensive guitars ??
-
I so hate that when seller remove the neck and everything to show the part nb....

i have the oportunity to buy a 57 reissue strat serial number v080834 in near mint condition what do you think is a reasonable price for this guitar
-
no, it is not for sale, she's my baby
I recently saw a Telecaster on e-bay with a Casteneta neck and the same date,
I would have liked to have grabbed that guitar, but I had just bought a 2007 R9 59 Les Paul reissue
and didn't have the cash on hand.

@wamster101 Yeh dude, castenata was an employee when george fullerton and leo fender re-started the factory when they bought it back from CBS. Do you want to sell it?

i just posted a video of my 4 early coronas, the early ones have those thin fullerton contours,from what i've read the coronas were closer to the 62/57s after cbs left...but, i look at these guitars both the fullerton/coronas as their own strats, stand on their own..they are all simply wonderful instruments

Hi..i have a 2TS 57 american vintage from 1995...does this have the poly undercoat on the body as i hear the early ones didn't...is mine classed as early? Would be greatful if anyone could help me with this.

@DangerousBastard in fact they were thin C shaped necks, whereas the newer ones ( since 20 years in fact) ahve the original V shaped neck you would find on an original 57... however david gilmour's favourite neck is the " wrong" C one from the Fullerton era ( 83)
You said this was vintage white in your video. It looks more yellowish to me. Cool guitar though. I play an ibanez, but I also have an old squier that I like to play here and there.

Yea, the old vintage white strat yellow with time. If you look underneath the pickguard you can see just how much this finish has yellowed. I have seen some of these that almost look banana yellow.

Wow, this is one heck of a guitar! I have never seen a serial number this low. How long have you been collecting these strats? I have a 1987 american reissue strat that is my number one, has been for the last 10 years. Keep these vids coming! Sweet website too.

Thanks. I have been collecting these for several years. I have only seen 2 guitars with serial numbers lower than this. The lowest serial number that I have seen is V000137, but that was a pieced together frankenstrat.
