  • 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.

see all

  • 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

  • @nuttymanyelismate

    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)
