1961 Fender Stratocaster 01023

http://www.frettedamericana.com/fender_stratocaster_1961-d-1023-0.html This 12 3/4-inch-wide guitar weighs just 7.60 lbs. and has a nut width of 1 5/8 inches and a scale length of 25 1/2 inches. Solid alder body, contoured on back and lower bass bout, and professionally refinished many years ago most probably by Jay Black in the super rare Fender custom color, 'Sea Foam Green' over 'fullerplast'. One-piece maple neck with a rosewood 'slab' fret-board and a medium-to-thin profile, 21 frets, and clay dot position markers. Small headstock with decal with Fender "spaghetti" logo in gold with black trim, "STRATOCASTER" in black beside it, "WITH SYNCHRONIZED TREMOLO" in black below it, two patent numbers below that, and "ORIGINAL Contour Body" at the ball end of the headstock. Individual single-line Kluson Deluxe tuners with oval metal buttons (stamped on the underside: "D-169400/Pat No."). Single "butterfly" string tree with 'small' metal spacer. Four-bolt neck plate with the serial number ("58054") between the top two screws. Three white ABS plastic covered black-bottom single-coil pickups with staggered polepieces and wonderfully balanced outputs of 6.06k, 5.88k, and 5.95k. The pole-pieces are staggered as follows: (highest to lowest) D+G; low E+A; high E; and finally B. Three-layer celluloid "green" (white/black/white) pickguard with eleven screws and aluminum shield. Three controls (one volume, two tone) plus three-way selector switch, all on treble side of the pickguard. White ABS plastic knobs with gold lettering.

Daphne blue is my favorite Fender color. Im a 6'5 300 pound ex-truck driver "Girly" I think not. It's the most "California" looking color they have. Ok soapbox is put away. You are the man Phil keep rockin!

@lowyaw I would. In years past ,people didnt't understand what these would be worth someday. I just removed 2 horrible 1970's enamel paint jobs on a '61 and restored it back to it's original lacquer "daphne blue"
